Resource Assessment And Protection Strategy Of Guanyinshan Mountain Nature Reserve In Shaanxi Province

Guanyinshan Mountain Nature Reserve is situated in the Fopin County of South of Qinling Mountains, the key distribution area of rare wildlife including panda, golden monkey, takin in history. With abundant plant species, various vegetation types and distinct vertical distribution, the area is one of the most typical zones in natural environment, biodiversity and the abundance of vegetation types, meanwhile it is full of rare wildlife, so it plays the key role in protecting the rare wildlife, the habit, and integrality of ecosystems.Through the investigation and research of Guanyinshan Mountain Nature Reserve, we achieved conclusions as follows: there are 1819 species belonging to 761 genera, 207 families in wild plants, among which there are 1528 species (sub-species), 618 genera, 137 families in seed plants, approximately accounting for 48.9% and 6.2% in Qinling Mountains and China respectively. They contain 1 species of first-level state key conversation, 8 species of second-level state key conversation, and 14 species of provincial key conversation; Vegetation is divided into 4 vegetation type group, 8 vegetation type, 13 vegetation subtypes, and 32 formation. The altitudinal zonation in the region consists of the low and middle mountain typical deciduous broad-leaved forest zone (below 2000m), the middle mountain deciduous smaller broad-leaved forest zone (2000-2500m), and the subalpine taiga coniferous forest zone (above 2500m). The Quercus spp. is the most representative in the low and middle mountain typical deciduous broad-leaved forest zone, which is the main habit of panda in spring and winter; the Betula alba-sinensis and the B.utilis are the main part of the middle mountain deciduous smaller broad-leaved forest zone, which is main area of movement, foraging, and multiplying of panda, golden monkey, and tikon; the Abies fargesii and the Larix chinensis are the representative in the subalpine taiga coniferous forest zone, which is the main habit of panda in summer. Besides, there are 155 species belonging to 37 families, 10 orders in large fungi species referred to edible fungi, medical fungi, and toxic fungus.There are 227 species (sub-species) belonging to 157 genera, 69 families, 23 orders in amniote, accounting for 30.76% and 4.4% in Shaanxi (738 species or sub-species) and China (5136 species or sub-species) respectively. There are 2788 species belonging to 305 families, 29 orders in insect, among which there are 954 species belonging to 58 families in Lepidoptera accounting for 34.21%, and there are 657 species belonging to 54 families in Coleoptera accounting for 23.59%.Through the assessment, the score of Guanyinshan Mountain Nature Reserve is 82, indicating the environment of the Nature Reserve is satisfying.
