Abstract:The part of vine in the Mueller Dombois & Ellenberg plant life form system was revised and expanded,according to the features of vines in the Subtropical Zone of East China(SZEC).Based on the revised system,the vine life form spectrum analysis shows that the phanerophyte lianes are absolutely dominant,accounted for 72.7% of all vines,followed by the geocryptophyte vines(17.5%),the hemicryptophyte vines(6.2%),the therophyte vines(2.7%)and the chamaephyte vines(1.5%).The vine life form spectrum is similar...
