. New concepts of tropical, annual tropical, true tropical and tropical fluctuating zone are formed to understand tropical area. Based on the indexes of climate, vegetation and soil, boundaries of tropical, annual tropical, true tropical and tropical
fluctuating zone of the study area are established. The tropical fluctuating zone explains different locating of different researchers. This paper also puts forward a new method to display boundary for eco-geographic regions.
The A. briefly reviews major themes in published tropical forest research between 1991 and 1992 inclusive in an attempt to identify what questions are believed to be important.
Biogeography ; Ecology ; Ecosystem ; Forest ; Habitat ; Photosynthesis ; Tree species ; Tropical rain forest
The A. reviews the mainstream ecological literature from 1994 to 1995 to gauge the importance of ecophysiological studies in understanding the ecology of tropical rain forests.
The A. reports on the progress in describing and explaining variation of biodiversity in tropical rain forests. He bases this review on a search of the 1997 editions of Ecology Abstracts, Ecological Abstracts and Forestry Abstracts.

China ; Climatic zone ; Flood ; Hydrology ; Pic discharge ; Precipitation ; Rainstorm ; Seasonal variation ; Spatial distribution ; Tropical cyclone
Regional distribution of the rainstorms and floods caused and affected by tropical cyclones are described and the geographical divisions of China are also given in this paper. The hydrological characteristics of tropical cyclone rainstorms
and floods are discussed and compared with that on non-tropical cyclones.
