Abstract
The distribution of C-4 plants and the C-4/C-3 ratio along Northeast China transect (NECT) have been studied. A model to quantify their relation with environmental factors has been set up. The ratio of the number of C-4 plant s to that of C-3 plants along NECT shows two low and two high trends from e ast to west, and their distribution is mainly decided by annual average tem perature and precipitation.
