Species richness in ifferent elevational ban s exhibits two ifferent patterns, monotonic ecrease an hump-shape pattern along the elevational gra ient. Key words:αiversity, β iversity, γ iversity, elevational gra ient, species richness 　　 ), (、、、 (Kratochwil, 1999), )(Whittaker et al ., 2001;Willis Whit- taker, 2002)。 , (Magurran, 1988)。 , ,
