Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
In this paper, the relationship of spatial variation between horizontal zone and altitudinal belts of alpine meadow on the Qinghai (Tibetan) Plateau was studied based on its lower and upper limit distributions. The A. will use the concept of layer-zone, where layer means the spatial differentiation commensurate with middle-scale altitudinal zonality, and zone means the spatial differentiation commensurate with large-scale horizontal zonality. Explanations to the stereoscopic distribution of the aforesaid climatic layer-zone and the unity between horizontal zone and altitudinal belts will be presented.
