Changbai Mountains -- Scenic Wonderland The world-famous Changbai Mountains, the source of the Tumen, Yalu, and Songhua rivers, are one of the most beautiful areas in China. Endowed with rich natural resources and charming scenery, the mountains are dotted with scenic spots. A nature preserve has been established here to protect the area's animals and plants. Together with the nature preserves in Wolong of Sichuan province and Dinghu Mountain of Guangdong Province, it has become a base for international scientific research into China's indigenous wildlife. Changhai Mountains can be reached by train from Changchun via Tonghua. All kinds of tourist facilities are available here. Hot Springs The springs, covering an area of over a thousand square meters, lie to the north of the Tianchi Lake and some nine hundred meters below the waterfall. The water temperature of some of the springs measures as high as 82ºC (180ºF), and the area is shrouded in steaming vapor all year round. As the water contains hydrogen sulfide, bathing pools have been built to provide bydropathic treatment. Changbai Mountains Falls This sixty-eight-meter waterfall pours down from a notch on the north bank of Tianchi, 1,250 meters above sea level. Poetically described as a great piece of silk suspended from the sky or a dancing silver dragon, the thunderous fall is one of the most magnificent sights in the Changbai Mountains. Heavenly Lake (Tianchi) The lake lies on the top of Baitou Mountain, the highest peak of the Changbai Mountains, and straddles the China-Korea border. It is actually a crater in which mountain streams converge from all directions. A typical alpine lake 2,155 meters above sea level, it covers 912 square kilometers and is 312.7 meters deep at its deepest point. For more than half of the year, the lake is covered with ice, but in summer, yachts are available for charter, and fishing is good. The delicious fish dishes prepared in the lakeside hotels are particularly recommended. Changbai Mountains Nature Preserve An enormous mountain wilderness stretches from the south of Autu and Fusong counties to the east of Changbai County in Jilin Province and borders on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Surrounding Changbai Mountains primeval forest, the preserve is 78.5 kilometers long and 53.3 kilometers wide and occupies more than 200,000 hectares. With a well-preserved natural environment and ecosystem, it is rich in biological species characteristic of mountainous regions. There are more than eighty kinds of trees, including Korean pines and Changbai larches and spruces, and over three hundred kinds of medicinal plants like ginseng, Asia bell (Codonopsis pilosula), and Tian Ma (Gastrodia elata). Changbai Mountains ginseng gained its fame more than four hundred years ago. Most of the Chinese ginseng and ginseng medicine exports were processed from the Jilin ginseng produced in the Changbai Mountains. Among the rare animals living in the preserve are northeast Chinese tiger, sika, sable, lynx, and leopard, all having been listed as rare animals under state protection. Famous Changbai Mountains, the source of the Tumen, Yalu, and Songhua rivers, are one of the most beautiful areas in China. Endowed with rich natural resources and charming scenery, the mountains are dotted with scenic spots. A nature preserve has been established here to protect the area's animals and plants.

Changbai Mountain straddles the China-North Korea border and has been held in almost sacred es- teem by both nations for centuries. It is this adula- tion that has protected the landscape from develop- ment over the years, until it became officially pro- tected within a 200,000 hectare reserve in 1960. How- ever, now, with a growing middle class and increas- ingly easy tourist travel to the region (the Changbais- han airport opened in 2008), human pressures on the area’s natural resources are mounting. Illegal hunting, plant and mushroom gathering, and the simple recre- ational activities of law-abiding visitors are all taking their toll on the land.

Abstract: Changbaishan volcano (China/North Korea; last eruption in 1903 AD) was responsible for a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) 7 eruption in 946 AD. Approximately 186,000 people live around Changbaishan and 2,000,000 tourists/year visit the volcano. An unrest occurred between 2002 and 2006. Despite the relevant hazard, the eruptive history is poorly known, a condition common to many volcanoes worldwide. Here, we investigate the extension of the areas potentially affected by pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) in case of future eruptions following a scenario-based approach.

Tenellula sect. Rhodellinae) from the Changbai Mountains, northeast China, is described as a new species. It is characterized by the red tinged pileus, slightly yellowing context, small basidia, short pleurocystidia, septate dermatocystidia with crystal contents, and a coniferous habitat. The phylogenetic trees based on ITS1-5.8S- ITS2 rDNA sequences fully support the establishment of the new species. Key words —Russulales, Russulaceae, taxonomy, morphology, Basidiomycota Introduction The worldwide genus ofRussula Pers. (Russulaceae, Russulales) is characterized by colorful fragile pileus, amyloid warty spores, abundant sphaerocysts in a heteromerous trama, and absence of latex (Romagnesi 1967, 1985; Singer 1986; Sarnari 1998, 2005). As a group of ectomycorrhizal fungi, it includes a large number of edible and medicinal species (Li et al. 2010). The genus has been extensively investigated with a long, rich and intensive taxonomic history in Europe (Miller & Buyck 2002). Although Russula species have been consumed in China as edible and medicinal use for a long time, their taxonomy has been overlooked (Li & Wen 2009, Li 2013).

Received: 18 April 2019; Accepted: 7 June 2019; Published: 11 June 2019 Abstract: Shifts in alpine tundra plant species have important consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, recent research on upward species shifts have focused mainly on polar and high-latitude regions and it therefore remains unclear whether such vegetation change trends also are applicable to the alpine tundra at the southern edges of alpine tundra species distribution. This study evaluated an alpine tundra region within the Changbai Mountains, China, that is part of the southernmost alpine tundra in eastern Eurasia. We investigated plant species shifts in alpine tundra within the Changbai Mountains over the last three decades (1984–2015) by comparing contemporary survey results with historical ones and evaluated potential changes in the distribution of dwarf shrub and herbaceous species over the next three decades (2016–2045) using a combination of observations and simulations. The results of this study revealed that the encroachment of herbaceous plants had altered tundra vegetation to a significant extent over the last three decades, especially within low and middle alpine tundra regions in Changbai Mountains, China.

  • Changes of Major Terrestrial Ecosystems in China Since 1960
    Global and Planetary Change 48 (2005) 287–302 www.elsevier.com/locate/gloplacha Changes of major terrestrial ecosystems in China since 1960 Tian Xiang YueT, Ze Meng Fan, Ji Yuan Liu Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jia No. 11, Datun, Anwai, 100101 Beijing, China Abstract Daily temperature and precipitation data since 1960 are selected from 735 weather stations that are scattered over China. After comparatively analyzing relative interpolation methods, gradient-plus-inverse distance squared (GIDS) is selected to create temperature surfaces and Kriging interpolation method is selected to create precipitation surfaces. Digital elevation model of China is combined into Holdridge Life Zone (HLZ) model on the basis of simulating relationships between temperature and elevation in different regions of China. HLZ model is operated on the created temperature and precipitation surfaces in ARC/ INFO environment. Spatial pattern of major terrestrial ecosystems in China and its change in the four decades of 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s are analyzed in terms of results from operating HLZ model. The results show that HLZ spatial pattern in China has had a great change since 1960. For instance, nival area and subtropical thorn woodland had a rapid decrease on an average and they might disappear in 159 years and 96 years, respectively, if their areas would decrease at present rate. Alpine dry tundra and cool temperate scrub continuously increased in the four decades and the decadal increase rates are, respectively, 13.1% and 3.4%. HLZ patch connectivity has a continuous increase trend and HLZ diversity has a continuous decrease trend on the average.
