Abstract  

Climate change becomes a dispute fact, and it will influence the forest landscape in future. Landscape boundary is more sensitive to climatic change than others. We take multivariate statistical analysis, remote sensing and geographic information system, to quantitatively analyze the relationship between landscape boundary and climatic change. Results indicate that we can take the longitude, latitude and altitude to study space interpolation for 11 meteorological factors. During 1975-1997, the tundra distribution upper limit and lower limit elevation presented an increased and then decreased tendency. Betula ermanii distribution upper limit also presented an increased and then decreased tendency; however, B. ermanii distribution lower limit showed a decrease tendency. The cold fir distribution upper limit presented an increase tendency, but the distribution lower limit of cold fir had no obvious change tendency. The upper limit boundary of tundra and B. ermanii distribution change depended on mean January temperature and annual precipitation; the lower limit boundary of B. ermanii and upper limit boundary of cold fir depended on mean July temperature.
