Abstract

Abstract: Quantitative classification of plant communities on the northern part of Gaoligong Mountains was carried out by TWINSPAN . 68 plots were investigated and divided into 18 groups . According to the principle and system of classification in Yunnan Vegetation and China Vegetation , the plant plots are attributed to 18 communities, 10 formations , 7 formation
groups, 7 vegetation subtypes and 6 vegetation types . While the results of TWINSPAN revealed that the plant communities were gradually changed with elevation and disturbance .

Key words: Gaoligong Mountains
