GUO Hua,WAN G Xiaoan, XIAO Yaping ( College of L if e Science, S haanxi Norm al U niversity, Xi an 710062, China). 2Chin. J. A ppl. Ecol.,2005,16 (2) :227 232. In this paper,the fractal characters of L arix chinensis populations in Qinling Mountain were studied by contigu2 ous grid quadrate sampling method and by boxing2counting dimension and information dimension. The results showed that the high boxing2counting dimension ( 1. 8087) and information dimension ( 1. 7931) reflected a higher spatial occupational degree of L. chinensis populations.judged by the dispersal index and Morisita s pat2 tern index, L. chinensis populations clumped at three different age stages (0 25,25 50 and over 50 years). From Greig2Smiths mean variance analysis, the figure of pattern scale showed that L. chinensis populations clumped in 128 m 2 and 512 m 2,and the different age groups clumped in different scales. The pattern intensities decreased with increasing age,and tended to reduce with increasing area when detected by Kershaw s PI index. The spatial pattern characters of L. chinensis populations may be their responses to environmental factors.
