Abstract
⺠We used geographical division analysis to cluster stream ecosystems in China. ⺠SOM showed different gradients along the changes of biotic variables. ⺠The environmental gradient was not clear from northern to southwestern China. ⺠The spatial variation was the main determinant for invertebrates on a large scale. ⺠SOM was efficient on a broad geographic framework for classifying streams.
