In order to use the Gaussian representation for propagators in Feynman amplitudes, a representation which is useful to relate string theory and field theory, one has to prove first that each $\alpha$- parameter (where $\alpha$ is the parameter associated to each propagator in the $\alpha$-representation of the Feynman amplitudes) can be replaced by a constant instead of being integrated over and second, prove that this constant can be taken equal for all propagators of a given graph. The first proposition has been proven in one recent letter when the number of propagators is infinite. Here we prove the second one. In order to achieve this, we demonstrate that the sum over the weighted spanning trees of a Feynman graph $G$ can be factorized for disjoint parts of $G$. The same can also be done for cuts on $G$, resulting in a rigorous derivation of the Gaussian representation for super-renormalizable scalar field theories. As a by-product spanning trees on Feynman graphs can be used to define a discretized functional space.
