Applying plant communities diversity techniques and SPSS statistical analysis, we quantify how that the relationship between (Sophora japonica) community’s tree individual number and elevation along elevation gradient in Ye County. We concluded that there is a significantly negative correlation between (Sophora japonica) community’s tree individual number and elevation (P<0.01). Elevation is the dominant environment driver of (Sophora japonica) community’s tree individual number decreased along elevation from 50m to 200m. Thus, understanding dynamic connecting of (Sophora japonica) community’s tree individual number and elevation can be not just applied to preserve of (Sophora japonica) communities, but also applied to sustainable of biodiversity and eco-processes along elevation gradient.
