• W2365203477 abstract "On the basis of comprehensive physical factors including altitude, landforms, climate, vegetation, hydrology, land-use, etc., the present paper divides China's territory into 124 basic units by using the GIS technique. 171 species of mammals and 509 of higher plants were selected for the study according to certain principles. Distribution information for these species were entered into the China Species Information System, and converted into geographical coordinates. Presence-absence information for mammal and plant species in each unit was used to compute species composition similarity for the 124 units. Mathematical quantitative analysis was then applied. The Sφrensen similarity index was used to calculate correlation matrices, and produce a cluster analysis result using the Ward method. The paper summarizes the differences in distribution between the two taxa and describes the reasons causing these differences. It also makes many important conclusions on the definition of boundaries of bio-geographical divisions of China. The ecological niche of mammals is much wider than that of plants, and reflects the obvious fact that plants are more sensitive to elevational changes refelecting physical geographical factors. The phenomenon is especially marked in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Yunnan Province and the vast upland area to the south of the Changjiang River. In these areas, the range boundaries of the mammals differ from that of either physical geography or plants. The boundaries of the Indo-Malayan Realm for mammals and plants are markedly different. Mammal species distributions are obviously divided by large mountain ranges or rivers. Compared to plants, the distributions of mammals are more easily interrupted by human activities. The species in the Altai Mountain are more similar to those in the Northwest Region than to those in the Great Xingan Mountains area. The species in the Qaidamu Basin are more similar to those in the Qilian Mountain than to those in the Talimu Basin. The Southern border of species distribution in the Northwest Arid Region should be the Kunlun Mountain area rather than the south edge of the Talimu Basin. Mammals in the Qinling Mountains are quite similar to those in the Hengduan Mountains, but the plant species in these two areas are markedly different. However, despite a number of differences of distributional characteristics for animals and plants, the overall patterns are reasonably similar in most regions. On the basis of the cluster analysis, this study produced an objective and quite general bio-geographic division system, consisting of 4 areas, 8 sub-areas, 27 regions and 124 units. The system clearly shows the similarity among regions not only in the terms of physical geography, but also of species composition and ecology. It has practical utility for biodiversity conservation programs. This study adopts a method that starts from basic units and progresses to higher-level divisions (the traditional way is therefore reversed), which is a more objective methodological approach for identifying bio-geographic divisions. Using this method, the division boundaries can be defined according to the results of a cluster analysis of species distribution, rather than researcher's subjective knowledge and experience of species and ecology. This method is also applicable to other biological taxa." @default.
