Abstract
Table 3.1 is a synoptic table of the forests dominated by the genus Fagus in East Asia. According to Table 3.1, the phytosociological system of beech forests in East Asia was classified as in Table 3.9 and the distribution map of the classified classes, orders, alliances and associations was depicted as Fig. 2.1. In Table 3.1, 68 species categorized as the species group 49 are the common species occurring in the beech forests in East Asia, although there is a regional bias. Many of the 68 species are character species of beech forests in each region.
