In this paper, the characteristics of the vertical distribution of the forest vegetation on Hualongshan Mountain was discussed. According to the altitudinal distribution of main woody-plant communities, using the methods of quantitative classification and the analysis combining the ecological physiognomy and floristic composition of various altitude, three vertical zones of forest vegetation may be identified:
1. The evergreen and deciduous broad-leaf mixed forest zone below 1600m.
2. The deciduous broad-leaf forest zone (1600–2200m).
3. The submountain coniferous forest zone (2200–2917m).
