| Abstract:
Songziyuan Forest Reserve at the south of the main peak of the Shennongjia Mountains is in the northern part of Badong County, Hubei. Many different species of the Actinidia are found in this area. The botanical and horticultural characteristics, the distributions, and the eco-habitats of these Actinidia species are summarized in this paper. Because of deforestation and habitat disturbance, these Actinidia species have become endangered. In order to reasonably and sustainably exploit and utilize the wild Actinidia resources, conservation strategies for these threatened species are proposed in this paper. The people must also be encouraged to protect natural resources | |
