Ecological study on relationship between desertification process and vegetation dynamics in west of northeast China:Vegetation classification

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the data obtained from 72 plant community plots and 276 plant species in Hulunbeier Sandy Land and Kerqin Sandy Land in the northeast desertification region of China,TWINSPAN analysis was carried out. Meanwhile the practical classification result was obtained by Detrended correspondence Analysis (DCA). Under the vegetation classification principles of China, the vegetation classification system of the desertification regions in northeast China was preliminarily established,which includes 6 vegetation types,11 subtypes,40 formations,and 55 associations.

Key words: West of northeast China, Sandy desertification region, Vegetation, Classification
