The forest is invaluable, too, because it harbors unique and endangered animals like the kiwi and takahe, both flightless birds, and the kea, the only alpine parrot.

This paper briefly outlined the advance of dendroecology research in terms of forest disturbance, population dynamics, forest structure, forest regeneration patterns and alpine timberline.

With the help of sample plot survey and sampling analysis, the water-containing rate and amount of resources of all kinds of combustibles under alpine pine forest in Nyingchi County are analyzed.
