Conservation, Preservation, and Use of Plant Resource of Yushan National Park I.
英文摘要
In order to preserve the plant resources in Yushan National Park and understand the ecological use of native plants (soil conservation, slope stability, greening of the landscape, provide food for animals and informative explanations in recreation areas), this study conducted and compiled a survey of Yushan National Park’s native plants, including their adaptive characteristics and ecological use. In addition, seeds were collected, preserved, and used in germination and sapling growth experiments, in order to breed and cultivate certain native plants within the park. The survey was mainly conducted in the following areas: Tataka to Yushan, Tataka to the Salihsian River, the New Central Cross-Island Highway, Tataka to Nansi Forest Road, Meishan to Tianchi, Jhuosi to Nanan. A portion of the native plants has a wide distribution, therefore seeds and data collected outside the park were also used as reference in the study. Seeds and fruits were collected from the park during the summer and fall, and then used for experiments. In this research reports, native plants were broadly separated into two categories based on their function: scenic and soil conversation. Data on seeds, storage, and germination was gathered, and stored for future use.
