Evergreen broadleaved forest is the forest consisting maialy of the evergreen broadleaved species of Fagaceae,Lauracsae, Theaceas and Magntliaceae. Sometimes some ecologists have named the forest subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest because it is distributed under wet climatic, conditions in snbtropics. The typical subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest is a midsubtropical evergreen broadleaved forest.As for the global distribution area of the evergreen broadleaved fore st area, the largest and the most typical one is in China. It becomes an ususual and rare type of vegetation on earth.Within the evergreen broadleaved forest in China, the dominants on the top layer, in general, are Cyclobalanopsis, Castanopsis and Lithocarpus. But Machilus and poebe species in relatively wet region and Schima species in relatively and region increase in number and become codominants together with the three genera mentioned above on the top layer. Evergreen species of Magnoliaesus occur frequently within several types of the communities but they do not dominate and are scarcely distributed as large and Integrated population.Through analysing life-form spectrum and leaf-class spectrum, we can see that subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest is the transitional type of vegetation between tropical rain forest and temperate deciduous broadleaved forest and approaches tropical rain forest. The leaf features does refect the transitional feature of leaf-size spectra of subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest.Evergreen broadleaved forest manifests clear stratification and within it there are mainly a tree layer, a shrub layer and a herbaceous layer as well as a field stratum. The first sublayer of the tree layer is chiefly made up of evergreen broadleaved macrophanerophyte synusia which consists of edificators,i. e. a few evergreen species of Fagaceae,Lauraceae, and Theaceae, and so is the edificato synusia of the community. Development situation of the first sub-tree layer refects to a certain extent,the mature degree of a community.The succession of subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest includes largely those two kinds, i. e. progressive succession and retrogressive succession.It is evident that evergreen broadleaved forest is relatively stable climax community, and if it is not disturbed strongly,large changes win't happen in the ctimax. The populations, of course, change frequently in number, especially relative number, which refects a kind of ecologically adaptive strategy of population, and the stabler a community, the more evident the strategy is.
