Patrones de distribución de individuos longevos de plantas relictas en los alrededores de la montana Fanjingshan en China: implicaciones para su conservación in situ

A study of Fanjingshan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in China, reveals that the southwest region, particularly around the village of Yangliu, is a critical refuge for ancient relict plants, including Ginkgo biloba and Taxus chinensis, with some individuals exceeding 500 years. This area, along with the northeast region, shows high diversity and similarity in tree species, indicating stable habitats for relict flora during the Neogene and Quaternary periods. The research used dendrological data of long-lived trees (≥100 years) to map distribution patterns and prioritize conservation efforts, emphasizing the urgency of protecting these regions for their unique biodiversity.
