Point pattern analysis of subalpine meadows in Dongling Mountain

In this study point pattern analysis and a multivariate spatialpattern analysis method were used to examine the spatial pattern of subalpine meadows in Dongling Mountain. The result showed that population patterns and spatial association of the subalpine meadow populations were closely linked with the tourism interference factors. With strong interference of the tourism, the subalpine meadow populations have shown the characteristic with clustered distribution and spatial negative association at each scale.
