In the current experiments, schima superba is made to simulate the fire resistant tree species and its thermal decomposition processes are studied by using dynamic thermogravimetry.

Selection of fire resistant tree species for the southwestern China and the planting of those species can effectively prevent large area s fire damage.

This study focused on two types of land use practices: shifting cultivation and cardamom (Amomum villosum) plantation under the native rainforest.

The increased population,shortened fallow,and declined soil fertility produce a wide range of local strategies to cope with the problem related with the shifting cultivation in Xishuangbanna southern Yunnan,including Hevea brasiliensis plantation as fallow management.

The change in structure and diversity of soil arthropod communities of secondary forest after the simulated process of slash and burn was studied in Xishuangbanna.
