摘要

本研究介紹植群分類學中龐大植物社會資料組之二階段分析方法。資料組之分層建議有兩種方式：在較大範圍及異質地理區域內，可採用局部地點的資料先分出若干子集；如資料組包含一地區所有植群型，則按植群型分出子集。第一階段首先在每一資料子集進行基本的群圍分析或分類工作，然後在形成之初級群圍中計算組成物種之覆蓋一豐富度整合值，所有基本群圍都以由相同之處理程序。第二階段是以初級的群圍為單位，再度進行群圍分析與分類，以劃分社會型。本文建議的整合值可以反映恒存度及覆蓋一豐富度，但特別強調物種須擁有高恒存度才可當作藍別種。
本方法以TWINSPAN程式處理台灣東北氣候區496個樣區及374種木本植物群分類，并以層級理論及分類理論來探討一些有關問題及未來發展方向。

A two-step method for the classification of very large phytosociological data sets in northeastern Taiwan is presented. Stratification of the data set is suggested either by subdivided areas in the case of a large and geographically heterogeneous region, or by vegetation types in the case of a set covering all the plant communities in the region. First, cluster analysis or any classification program is processed on each subset. The resultant basic clusters are summarized by calculating a synoptic cover-abundance value for each species in each cluster. All basic clusters are then accorded to the same procedure of classification. Second order clusters are explained as community types. The synoptic value proposed for each plant reflects both constancy and average cover-abundance. It is emphasized that a species should have a high constancy to be used as a diagnostic species.
The method is interpreted with a data set of 496 relevés and 374 species of forest vegetation in northeastern Taiwan. The program TWINSPAN is adopted in each stage of classification. Some problems and perspectives of the approach are discussed in the light of hierarchy theory and classification theory.
