Abstract: In this study the tree canopy-weighted regeneration area (TCWRA) method was developed and used together with the point-centered quarter method (PCOM) in the field investigation. Mnrkov process was also used to describe linear and non-linear succession of the forest community in Langya Mountain, Anhui. The structure and dynamics of each vertical layer of the com munity in a stable state was also forecasted. The results obtainted indicate that Quercus accutissima and Platycarya strobilacea are gradually degenerated without any external disturbances. The community will develop to appraoch to " climax" with domination of Pteroceltis iatarinowii, Acer mono and Zellorov schneideriana.
