1978

Size : 

1 133.00ha

Purpose of Site : 

1)Study on the process and rules of zonal forest succession(i.e. interaction between structure and function, pattern and process).Explore the impact of global cliamte change on zonal forest.Provide a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of south subtropical forest ecosystem. Accumulate data in this typical area. 2)Studies the laws of natural reserve's conservation and sustainable development . Explores the mechanism of biodiversity conservation and maintenance.Discusses the coordination between natural protection and utilization. Provides the basis and model for effective management of forest nature reserves in China.

History of Site: 

DHS was established in 1978, it became a member of Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN), CAS in 1991. DHS was selected as pilot station of National Field Research Station network running by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China in 1999. DHS joined in China Fluxnet, CAS and the Regional Atmospheric Observation Network, CAS in 2002 and 2003.
