Abstract: DCA and TWINSPAN were applied in this study of the community distribution patterns of epiphytic bryophytes based on the cover of epiphytic bryophytes in different forests in Changbai Mountain. The results showed that the distribution of epiphytic bryophytes is well correlated with forest types. Epiphytic bryophyte communities in this area can be divided into six groups, which are distributed in Larix olgensis forest, Betula ermanii forest, dark conifer forest, transition forests between Pinus koraiensis broad-leaved mixed forest and conifer forest, Betula platyphylla forest and Pinus koraiensis broad-leaved mixed forest respectively. The factors influencing the ecological distribution of epiphytic bryophytes in Changbai Mountain were also analyzed and described.
