Abstract In this editorial, we introduce a Special Feature focusing on various aspects of temperate forest vegetation on the East A sian mainland ( C hina and K orea). The papers included in this Special Feature encompass a range of topics, including plot‐based vegetation survey, analysis of vegetation change along broad‐scale environmental gradients and dynamics of both successional and climax forests.
