Studying the natural resources, environment, and socioeconomic development of China's mountain areas is difficult without a clear quantification of those mountains. Quantification is also essential for developing digital mountains. Using GIS and the digital elevation model, this research effort quantified and classified China's mountains according to domestic and international criteria.
