In Nobeyama, people brought land under cultivation after the war, and recently, Nobeyama is famous as a place of vegetable production. On one hand, plain grassland is on the decrease and various vegetations that are caused by various management and use are existent. In the present paper, we shall try to make clear the relation between the floristic composition and the human effect. Accordingly, it is important that the history of the human action is obvious, and therefore Shinshu University's forest and farm in Nobeyama and the astronomical observatory were chosen as the subject of this study. We made vegetation researches in the spring, the summer and the autumn of 1991. As a result, we were able to classify into eight communities i.e. A-H by eleven differential species, and they were identical throughout three seasons. The existence of the relation between communities and the human effect caused by management and use became clear. When rearranging these results, even if communities were classified as local, they are an effective means of indicating relation of them to the human effect
