摘要: This study aimed to compare the distribution patterns and trends of plant parts used among different groups medicinal plants, geographical regions, between plants all vascular plants. We published sources for elevation records 2,331 species interpolate presence minimum maximum elevations estimated richness each 100-m elevational band. Monte Carlo simulations were test whether differences in significant. Total number as well showed unimodal relationship with elevation. The distributions significantly differ regions groups. When comparing indicated that numbers are higher than expected at low elevations. highest could be possibly due favorable environmental factors such high temperature, rainfall, sunlight or density human population thus pressure on use any lower
