Abstract

The primary forest is characterized by high values of diversity and elevate centralisation, whereas secondary vegetation presents lower figures.

Riassunto

Diversità di tipo β e caratteri fitogeografici nella riserva di Ding Hu Shan. Alcuni caratteri statistici della vegetazione forestale della Riserva della Biosfera di Ding Hu Shan nella Cina méridionale sono stati studiati: β -diversità mediante l’applicazione del metodo proposto da Itow e centralizzazione mediante un indice originale. La foresta primaria è caratterizzara da valori elevati di diversità e di centralizzazione, mentre la foresta secondaria présenta valori inferiori.
