Article Abstract
The Qinling-Daba Mountains span subtropical and warm temperate zones and are one of the most remarkable biodiversity hotspots in China. Establishing a complete checklist of seed plants organized by nature reserves in the Qinling-Daba Mountains and adjacent areas is an important basis for managing and utilizing plant resources. First, we collected seed plant species data from published checklists representing 58 nature reserves in the Qinling-Daba Mountains and adjacent areas; second, we comprehensively and systematically sorted and integrated these data; third, we proofread and revised the data with the help of the R language and Flora of China dataset; and finally, we set up a seed plant database containing 96148 records, including the name, order, family, genus, life form, and endemism of each species for the entirety of the Qinling-Daba Mountains. The database contains 9491 species of seed plants belonging to 1729 genera, 211 families, and 59 orders, accounting for 39% of China's seed plants.

The Qinling-Daba Mountain area, an essential ecological conservation zone in China, occupies a pivotal position in the pursuit of carbon neutrality. Using diverse data sources, including temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, we refined the CASA model by replacing model indicators. This enhanced model simulated the net primary productivity of vegetation in the Qinling-Daba Mountain area from 2001 to 2022.

In this paper, we examined the elevation-dependent warming (EDW) patterns of MODIS LST across different seasons in the Qinling-Daba Mountains, further investigate the connections between the EDW patterns of Land surface temperature (LST) and land surface albedo (ALB) as well as aerosol optical depth (AOD). The key findings include: (1) Our study reveals a robust correlation between LST and air temperature in the Qinling-Daba Mountains, suggesting the feasibility of using MODIS LST to predict the temperature trends (2) During the period from 2001 to 2010, MODIS LST shows a significant EDW trend, primarily in the spring season. In contrast, a negative EDW is observed in the period during 2011-2021, which is contrary to the earlier decade, particularly during the autumn and winter seasons.

Accurate estimation of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for understanding and managing forest ecosystems in the context of global environmental change, and also provides a scientific basis for national and regional ecological planning and carbon emission reduction policies. In order to investigate the regional pattern of forest AGB and its influencing factors in central China, a total of 469 sample plots were measured along four sample transects and on six mountains in field survey. The results showed that: 1) Two longitudinal distribution patterns of forest AGB were found, and one was that the AGB in the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Moutains gradually decreased from east to west, and the other was that the AGB in the areas between the two mountains gradually increased from east to west.
