Abstract

The article discusses the correlation between macro-distribution and micro-distribution of plant communities using the formulated "Geo-ecological Law of Distribution." Accordingly, the specific topographical distribution or micro-distribution of an ecotypic plant species or of a plant community is a parallel function of its general geographical distribution or macro-distribution. Furthermore, this two factors received special consideration including in genetic and historic factors. In addition, figures are also presented which shows the rapid changes in vegetation within three phytogeographical regions in a short distance.
