| 摘 要： | The climate-vegetation interaction of China is mainly controlled by the atmospheric circulations and topographic characteristics. The distribution and NPP of vegetation zones show a close relationship with a series of climatological indexes, such as annual mean temperature, precipitation, various thermal indexes, and potential evapotranspiration rates. The multivariate analysis (DCA) for climate and vegetation, zones in China provides quantitative environmental interpretation for two significant ecological gradients. The first gradient is mainly a thermal gradient, it can be displayed by latitude, altitude, biotemperature, and annual mean temperature. The second gradient is basically a moisture gradient, it correlated highly with longitude and potential evaportranspiration. The quantitative interaction or statistical models between vegetation zones and climato-geographical indexes can provide a fundamental scenario and comparative parameters for the study on climate and vegetation changes in China.
