ABSTRACT Lowland tropical forests once covered a large fraction of southern China, but currently have an extent ca 633,800 ha, mostly in Xishuangbanna Yunnan. The region has typical monsoon climate with mean annual temperature ranging between 15.1°C and 21.7°C, precipitation 1200 2500 mm. There is pronounced dry season November April frequent occurrence heavy fog. Rainfall during the wet May October accounts for over 80 percent total precipitation. Water deposition from fog one‐third water...
Both the continental or island origin of Hainan, and Indo-Malaysian East Asian affinity its flora, are debatable. In this study, 196 families, 1283 genera 3894 species Hainan plants were recognized. Patterns seed plant distribution quantified at generic family levels. The floras Vietnam, adjacent Guangxi Guangdong provinces mainland China, compared with Hainan. results showed that flora Island is dominated by families tropical distributions. Among floristic elements, distributions make up...
ABSTRACT Xishuangbanna of southern Yunnan is biogeographically located at a transitional zone from tropical Southeast (SE) Asia to subtropical East Asia, and the junction Indian Burmese plates Gondwana Eurasian plate Laurasia. The flora region consists recorded 3336 native seed plant species, belonging 1140 genera in 197 families, among which 83.5 percent are 32.8 endemic suggesting strong affinity Asian flora. vegetation organized into four forest types: rain forest, seasonal moist montane...
Studying the spatial pattern and interspecific associations of plant species may provide valuable insights into processes mechanisms that maintain coexistence. Point analysis was used to analyze distribution patterns twenty dominant tree species, their changes across life stages in a 20-ha permanent plot seasonal tropical rainforest Xishuangbanna, China, test maintaining Torus-translation tests were quantify positive or negative topographic habitats. The results showed: (1) fourteen...
Yunnan has a complicated geological history, particular geography, and complex topography, which have influenced the formation of various habitats high biodiversity: 245 families; 2140 genera; 13,253 species varieties seed plants; more than 12 types vegetation; 167 plant formations, including tropical rain forests, dry subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, cold temperate coniferous alpine bushes meadows. An analysis geographic elements to current flora shows that distribution...
Abstract. Ecological and biogeographic analyses of the tropical rain forest in south Yunnan were made using data from seventeen sample plots floristic inventories about 1000 species seed plants. The is shown to be a type true because it has almost same profile, physiognomic characteristics, richness per unit area, numbers individuals each tree diameter classes trees as classic lowland forests. As area at northern margin monsoonal tropics, differs equatorial forests having some deciduous...
The floral composition of Yunnan is conspicuously linked to the biogeographical history this extremely species-rich province in southwestern China. floristic compositions three representative regions were compared reveal their variation with geography. From southern Yunnan, 4150 native species (including subspecies and varieties) from 1240 genera 183 families seed plants recognized. central 3389 1095 167 northwestern 6807 1296 166 Although these floras across are similar familial...
The forests on limestone in southern.Yunnan, tropical southwest China, were inventoried, and their floristic composition biogeographical affinities are discussed.These characterized phanerophytes making up ca.78% of the total species those with mesophyllous leaves comprising 75%.Ecological groups based habitat preferences discerned from field observations: exclusive to habitats make 10% preferents ca.12% flora.From these fore ts, 1394 vascular plant belonging 640 genera 153 families...
We censused all free-standing trees ≥1 cm diameter at breast height (dbh) in a 20-ha plot established tropical seasonal rainforest Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, southwest China. A total of 95,834 dbh were recorded, and 95,498 individuals (accounting for 99.65% the total), including 468 morphospecies 213 genera 70 families, identified. Thirteen species (2.78%) had more than 1,000 individual dbh, which represented 56.36% total. On other hand, 230 (49.14%) mean density ≤1 tree per ha,...
The southern and tropical southeastern regions of the Yunnan Province in southwestern China have similar monsoonal climates lowland rain forest vegetations. floras both are dominated by floristic elements (78.3% 68.83% Yunnan), belong to Indo-Malaysian flora at northern margin Asia. However, some temperate East Asian characteristic families well represented Yunnan, while Asia Yunnan. Additionally, there 14 mainly east that not found Although two share 80% their genera, 237 genera restricted...
Tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia are facing increasing and ever more intense human disturbance that often negatively affects biodiversity. The aim of this study was to determine how tree species phylogenetic diversity is affected by traditional forest management types understand the change community structure during succession. Four forests with different histories were selected for purpose: old growth forests, understorey planted secondary (∼200-years after slash burn), young...
Plant functional traits often show strong latitudinal trends. To explain these trends, studies have focused on environmental variables, correlations with other that themselves and phylogenetic conservatism. However, few systematically disentangled the relative contributions of factors. Using a dataset consisting 9,370 plant species from Southwest China, we investigated factors affecting fruit type (fleshy vs. dry): growth form, constraints (summarized by climate region), Growth form region...
