	Applying plant community diversity techniques and SPSS statistic analysis, we quantified the relationship between crown volume of 18 (<i>Sophora japonica</i>) tree communities and elevation along different elevation gradient in <i>Ye County</i> in the study. We concluded that there was a significantly positive correlation between crown volume of 18 (<i>Sophora japonica</i>) tree communities and elevation gradient (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.01). Elevation was the dominant environment driver crown volume of (<i>Sophora japonica</i>) tree communities increased along elevation from 50 m to 200 m in <i>Ye County</i> in 2018. Therefore, understanding dynamic connecting crown volume of 18 (<i>Sophora japonica</i>) communities and elevation can be not just applied to preserve of (<i>Sophora japonica</i>) tree communities, but also applied to sustainable of biodiversity and processes of tree community¡¯s crown volume along elevation.
