Abstract: Evergreen sclerophyllous oaks (the E.S. oaks, Quercus section Heterobalanus) are dominant species [Authors: Please check to be sure that my editing was not wrong and that I did not alter your meaning. Same below.] of the local ecosystem in eastern Himalayas and the Hengduan Mountains, SW China. Despite special distribution with great ecological significance, the climatic range of their habitat and the effects of the climate on their distribution have not been investigated. In this study, we document the climatic envelope of the E.S. oak species in eastern Himalayas and the Hengduan Mountains and examine the relationships between climate and their distribution. This was done using a principal components analysis (PCA) and multiple regression analysis (MRA) of nine climatic indices. The main climatic envelope of the E.S. oaks were: mean temperature of the warmest month (MTW) = 12.0-19.5 ℃, warmth index (WI) =33.2-88.9 ℃omonth, annual biotemperature (BT) = -6.9- -0.3 ℃, coldness index (CI) = -30.4- -10.1 ℃omonth, mean temperature of the coldest month (MTC) = -3.7-3.0 ℃ and annual precipitation (AP)=701-897 mm at the lower limits; and MTW=8.3-16.1 ℃, WI=15.7-59.1 ℃omonth, BT=3.6-8.9 ℃, CI= -55.4- -19.3 ℃omonth, MTC=8.3-16.1 ℃ and AP= 610-811 mm at the upper limits. The climatic range of the E.S. oaks, with specific geographical distribution, is wide including two climatic zones-the cool-temperature zone and the subpolar zone. The PCA and MRA results suggest that the thermal climate plays a leading role and precipitation a secondary role in controlling the large-scale distribution of the E.S. oaks, except Quercus monimotricha. In thermal regime, growing season warmth (BT) and/or mean temperature of the warmest month (MTW) are most important for both lower and upper limits of the E.S. oaks. Furthermore, the PCA and MRA results also provide the large-scale distribution of Quercus monimotricha significantly related to annual precipitation (AP). However, our results indicate the upper distributional limits of the E.S. oaks are less determined by low temperatures and their duration (CI) than by other factors, which is different from previous studies.Decontaminated thianthrene disproportion.
