In a study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have provided strong support for this central prediction by examining phytochemical diversity and herbivory in 60 tree communities ranging from species-rich tropical rainforests to species-poor subalpine forests

Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG), in collaboration with Xishuangbanna Ornamental Stone Association, held an exhibition named “Spirit of nature: peculiar stones of Xishuangbanna” to celebrate the day. It aimed to showcase the unique natural heritage and artistic charm of the Xishuangbanna region.
