Abstract: The Pinus taiwanensis forest is a kind of temperate coniferous forest found only in the vertical distribution of the mountain vegetation in the subtropical area of East China. It appears on mountain slopes and ridges, from elevations of about 600—700m with upper limit of about 1750 –1900m on mountain peaks its vertical distribution range is from 800—850m above sea level to the peak. This paper deals mainly with the position of this pine forest in vegetation altitude belts of Mt. Lushan.Having analysed the habitats, flora, life form spectrum, and the syndynamic of the forest, as well as the clastotype of broadleaved forest, studied some relative materials of pollen analysis and compared Mt. Lushun with neighbouring mountains, we regard the Pinus taiwanensis forest as temperate coniferous forest although the anthropogenic influences are so powerful that it now becomes the dominant vegetation of Mt. Lushan at elevation of about 1000m, it nevertheless still belongs to the mountain deciduous broad-leaved forest belt and not to any type else.
