| Research Abstract |
Geographical variation of multi-scale distribution patterns of Fagaceae populations in Tropical montane forests in Asia under fluctuating environment was studied. Flora information from several herbariums and documented information, altitudinal distribution pattern in each major mountains, species distribution patterns in quadrats were collected. Number of species increased with increasing elevation and there was a peak at around 1500 m a.s.l. For altitudinal distribution, there is a pattern that number of evergreen Fagaceae species appeared entering into the mountains in lowland humid tropics. This results suggested species niche for Fagaceae were overlapped in different spatial scale.
