Table 7. Similarity matrix based on Jaccard similarity coefficient and Pearson correlation coefficient (range of values from 0 to 1.0, with values closer to 1.0 indicating increasing similarity) among 7 vegetation types(I~VII) of Larix kaempferi plantations and with the two surrounding oak natural forests (Qm: Quercus mongolica forest, Qs: Quercus serrata forest). For full names of VT I to VII, see Table 2.
