韓半島における森林植生と気候の分布 : IV.森林植生帯の分布と温度気候

抄録

Existing vegetation maps of the Korean Peninslla were compared to reveal the common features involved. The thermal climates of the five representative forest types were determined in terms of the warmth and the coldness indices, based on the most detailed maps, those by Ueki (1933), Lautensach (1935) and Yim (1968). The northern boundary of the warm-temperate evergreen lucidophyll forest zone was examined in detail with reference to the distribution of its component species. Taking the results of the three preceding papers and those of Japanese studies into consideration, it was concluded that the four principal forest zones and two subzones more or less commonly recognized by the preceding authors were-distributed-in the Peninsula in close correlation with the distribution of thermal climate.
