The property of ecology and morphology of plant species in forest communities are basic unit of the structure and function of forest ecosystem. Stand spatial distribution pattern is very important in forest survey and growth model. There are various methods in analyzing population spatial distribution pattern such as Variance/Mean method, point pattern methods and so on .Quadrate method and distance method have the respective advantage and disadvantage. The paper compares the methods and put forward that point processes are good method.
