A NEW METHOD FOR THE STUDY OF THE SPATIAL PATTERN POPULATION IN PLANT COMMUNITIES
植物群落种群分布格局研究的新方法

In this paper, a new method for the study of the spatial pattern of population in plant communities is presented. In comparison with the method of contiguous grid quadrats which was recommended by Greig-Smith (1952 and 1964), the new method has the following advantages.1. The results obtained by use of this new method are of higher accuracy. In addition, the computer is able to print and output the scale and shape of clumps of plant population,the distribution pattern of clumps in the sampling plot, the tot...
