摘要
The distribution, regeneration and succession of Fagus in China were systematically analyzed incomparison with those in Europe and in northern America. The results showed th8t it was very likely that Chinawas the distribution center of Fagus, which originated in eastern Asia, migrated into northern America and then intoEurope. Distribution of Fagus in China is relatively independent with seven species. The main reason for wide distribution of Fagus in Europe, but unitary species, is possibly the influence of the climate in Quaternary Period, andalso related with influence of the ocean climate.
