Abstract:Taken six species of bamboos: Pleioblastus pygmaeus, Indocalamus barbatus, leioblastus fortune, Pleioblastus argenteostriata, Phyllostachys edulis and Chimonobabusa utilis as objectives, the spatial distribution patterns of these six bamboo species on different distance scales were analyzed using the spatial point pattern analysis method and Taylor’s power law, to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing planting structure of some bamboo species with potential great economic and ecological values, and to enhance the exploitation level of bamboo resources in China. Results showed that: (1) the putative spatial distribution types of these six bamboo species by using Taylor’s power law were consistent with using the spatial point pattern analysis method. (2) P. pygmaeus, I. barbatus and P. argenteostriata all exhibited a strong characteristic of aggregated distribution, whereas P. fortunei showed a weaker aggregated distribution on given distance scales; the spatial distribution patterns of P. edulis and C. utilis were between the aggregated distribution and random distribution on given distance scales, which should be strictly classified as a random distribution.
