Abstract: The Leigong Mountain is the only region of centralized distribution of Taiwania flousiana in Guizhou Province. The region is located at the areas between 26˚20′—26˚25′N and between 108˚12′—108˚20′E. The distribution height in elevation is 800--1300m; the slope is more than 30 degree. The soil is deeper and pH value is between 4.1—5.3. The content of organic matter on topsoil is about 11%, but that under the topsoil is 6.8—0.3%.Through investigation of Taiwania flousiana forests in the Leigong Mountain, qualitative and quantitative analyses of the community characteristics of Taiwania flousiana forests, the authors proffer suggestions and measures of protection and development for its resources and promote natural regeneration of this plant by man.
