For providing a better understanding of the quantitative relationship between typical wetland vegetation and their tidal creek habitats in the Yellow River Estuary, the tidal creeks and three wetland vegetation types of Spartina alterniflora, Phragmites australis and Suaeda salsa were selected to analyze their distribution characteristics and explore the correlation between their spatial distributions within the different areas in the study. Authors applied the methods of regional statistical analysis, proximity analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis to quantifying the spatial distribution characteristics of vegetation and tidal creeks and their spatial interaction as well. The results showed that 86.87% of S. alterniflora was distributed in the salt-fresh water interaction zones along the Yellow River. S. alterniflora occupied more space around the tidal creeks. P. australis and S. salsa were only closely related to low-order tidal creeks, but the curvature of their surrounding tidal creeks was higher than that of S. alterniflora. The three types of vegetation in the Tidal Creek Buffer Zone (TCBZ) had spatial agglomeration in their habitats. Among of three vegetation types, S. alterniflora had the closest relationships with tidal creeks. This study has an important theoretical and practical significance for the management and restoration of related wetland ecosystems.

为了更好地了解黄河河口典型湿地植被与其潮汐生境之间的定量关系，选择了互花米草，芦苇和Su草（Suaeda salsa）的潮汐溪流和三种湿地植被类型，以分析其分布特征并进行探索。在研究的不同区域中它们的空间分布之间的相关性。作者运用区域统计分析，邻近分析和空间自相关分析的方法来量化植被和潮汐小溪的空间分布特征以及它们之间的空间相互作用。结果表明：互花米草86.87％分布在黄河沿岸的盐与淡水相互作用区。互花米草在潮汐小溪周围占据更多空间。南极对虾和莎莎仅与低潮汐小溪有密切关系，但它们周围的潮汐小溪的曲率高于互花米草。潮汐河缓冲区（TCBZ）中的三种植被在其栖息地中具有空间集聚。在三种植被类型中，互花米草与潮汐小溪关系最密切。该研究对相关湿地生态系统的管理和恢复具有重要的理论和实践意义。
