In order to understand the interspecific and ecological relationships of (extremely small population) community and strengthen the protection of wild resources in Junzifeng Nature Reserve, we studied the niche characteristics and interspecific associations of dominant tree species. The results showed that , , , and had obvious niche breadth advantages, which were the constructive species of the community. Among the 190 groups of species pairs among the 20 dominant tree species, 50.

Article Synopsis
  • A rare plant species in Yun-xiao County, Fujian Province, has a critically low population consisting of only 25 individuals, mainly young seedlings, and just one mature mother tree.
  • The spatial distribution shows most seedlings are clustered within 10-25 meters of the mother tree, indicating an unsustainable population due to lack of older trees and intense competition from surrounding species.
  • An evaluation of this plant's conservation status reveals it is classified as "extremely endangered" with high protection value and priority, suggesting immediate conservation actions are necessary.

Designing the nature reserves is an effective approach to protecting biodiversity. The traditional approaches to designing the nature reserves could only identify the core area for protecting the species without specifying an appropriate land area of the nature reserve. The site selection approaches, which are based on mathematical model, can select part of the land from the planning area to compose the nature reserve and to protect specific species or ecosystem.
