Dinghu Mountain Research of Forest Ecosystem - China

Basic Information
Site Name
Dinghu Mountain Research of Forest Ecosystem
Short name
DHF
Country
China
Site Manager
Guoyi Zhou
Site Description
DHS has well protected monsoon evergreen broadleaf forest and its successional forests. Therefore, DHS is an ideal place to research successional processes and patterns of subtropical forest ecosystems, as well as to restore or rehabilitate the degraded forest ecosystems in subtropics of China.
