Distribution and variation of the importance values of grasses, sedges, and forbs at different elevations. The grass, sedge, and forb species belonged to Gramineae, Cyperaceae, and other families, respectively. At each elevation, species of the herb community were divided into these three life forms. Their importance values were used in regression analyses with the altitudinal gradient. Data for the importance values of grasses, sedges, and forbs were averaged from 80 sub-quadrats at each elevation.
