In a study published in Restoration Ecology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to provide a scientific basis for identifying manageable factors for the reforestation of degraded ecosystems. They explored and quantified the effects of multiple levels of light reduction and watering on the cumulative number and richness of plantlets emerging after topsoil translocation in a field experiment.

In a study published in Ecology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) explored the interspecific and temporal variation of CNDD and its potential associated factors. The researchers used a long-term study of seedling survival in tropical forests to quantify variation in the strength of CNDD among species related to enemy defense and resource acquisition, as well as interannual and intraannual variation.

In a study published in Functional Ecology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) investigated putative drivers of the growth-mortality trade-off related to functional traits and ecological niches for 14 tree species in a 20-ha tropical forest in southwest China.They found evidence for an interspecific growth-mortality trade-off at the seedling stage.

In a study published in New Phytologist, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) generated a high-quality chromosome-level assembly for C. odorata, which is the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome in magnoliids and provides a valuable genomic basis for obtaining insights into the phylogenetic position of magnoliids.

In a study published inScience of the Total Environment, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) examined the impact of rubber plantation expansion on deep soil properties. They filled the gap by examining changes in nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and metal ion levels in deep soil after long-term cultivation of rubber and rubber-based agroforestry systems.

In a study published in Integrative Conservation, researchers examined the history of human–tiger interactions in China from a long-term perspective. Using historiography approaches, they analyzed human–tiger conflicts and the measures taken to ensure human–tiger coexistence throughout history up to the present day.
