This is the first work to present a contemporary survey and analysis of the special character and value of the subtropical vegetation of southwestern China. In addition, the author also considers present day vegetation in the context of geological events and evolution, and with reference to ecological factors and human activities. The author has conducted extensive field work in the region and the book benefits from her deep and sophisticated understanding of how vegetation dynamics evolve, how plants persist, and how plant diversity has changed over time and space in the Yunnan region. Included are comparisons and links with similar systems around the world. The book provides a clear, concise account of the patterns and processes surrounding the subtropical vegetation of southwestern China, making frequent use of line illustrations, color maps and photos to support its exhaustive analysis of this often complex topic. Special attention is paid to several Tertiary relict forests that only recently have been identified and studied. This book will serve as a point of departure for future researchers as they trace and interpret the evolution of the natural environment. 410 0$aPlant and Vegetation,$x1875-1318 ;$v11 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aCommunity ecology, Biotic 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aForestry 606 $aEcology  606 $aPlant Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19112 606 $aCommunity & Population Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19120 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aForestry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22008 606 $aTerrestial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19139 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aCommunity ecology, Biotic. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aForestry. 615 0$aEcology . 615 14$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aCommunity & Population Ecology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aForestry. 615 24$aTerrestial Ecology. 676 $a570 676 $a577 676 $a577.82 676 $a581.7 676 $a634.9 700 $aTang$b Cindy Q$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060411 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298271303321 996 $aThe Subtropical Vegetation of Southwestern China$92513396 997 $aUNINA
