Abstract: A model which deals with the distribution of Jiangsu coastal solonchalk vegetation and environmental conditions within the conservation area of precious birds was proposed using the theory of multivariate linear model, according to the relationship between the types of community and the three-dimensional ordination of principal components analysis(PCA). The results indicated that the model can correctly describe the patterns of the community distribution and make the explanation of the ordinational axes of PCA more clear and easy.
