Abstract
Within the wide-ranging beech forests of East Asia, differences in flora can be seen to reflect differences not only in the capacity of compose plant communities, depending from the climatic and ecological conditions, as it was described in the syntaxonomical section of this study, but also in the evolutionary history of each plant group and the migrations following the last glacial maximum in each area. For these reasons there are very few species that are uniformly diffused across the whole range of the study area. However, on the other hand, in many cases, even though species were different, similar structural properties and functional adaptations can be observed at the genus or family levels.
The text of Chapter 3 follows on page 122, after Table 3.1b.
