Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators pioneered a pixel-scale matching degree analysis framework to quantify endangered plant diversity (EPD) and ESs in Xishuangbanna.

In a study published in Science of The Total Environment, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) assessed the impact of tropical land use change on soil fungal functional guilds and the effects on soil C and N cycling processes at the aggregate level.

In a study published in Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators tried to gain insights into hydroclimate variability in central Yunnan Province. They constructed a tree ring-width chronology of Tsuga dumosa, one of the oldest tree species in the Wuliang Mountain area and has previously been found suitable to reconstruct hydrolimate variability.

In a study published in International Journal of Biometeorology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB) investigated the effects of temperature, phenology, and powdery mildew disease on rubber latex yield in March using observational data on daily rubber latex yield combined with detailed phenology, powdery mildew, and temperature data from 2004 to 2010 in a state farm in the Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China.

In a study published in Journal of Systematics and Evolution, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to establish a DNA barcoding standard to enable reliable identification of Caragana species that will help in quality control procedures especially for highly fragmented herbal materials.

In a study published in Biological Conservation, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to reveal species habitat occupancy, together with the potential influence of human presence on the spatiotemporal distribution pattern of large mammals in a particular area, especially in data-deficient regions.

In a study published in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators tried to reveal the temporal and spatial dynamics of tropical terrestrial orchids, and clarify the main factors of species richness disparity among tropic floras through its evolutionary history.

In a study published in Plant, Cell & Environment, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators explored how environmental conditions induced turgor-limitation in stem growth and, in turn, could explain diel and seasonal patterns in stem diameter growth in the widespread tropical tree species Toona ciliata (red cedar).

In a study published inTaiwania, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators investigated the floral morphology and development of two legume species from the subfamily Caesalpinioideae, Biancaea decapetala (a caesalpinioid), and Albizia julibrissin (a mimosoid), using scanning electron microscopy.

In a study published in Plant Physiology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) showed that CONSTANS protein negatively modulated salinity tolerance in Arabidopsis through physically associating with and antagonizing the ABSCISIC ACID-RESPONSIVE ELEMENT BINDING FACTOR (ABF) transcription factors under long-day conditions.

In a study published in BMC Biology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB) report the first chromosome-level reference genome of M. paniculata with a total assembly length of 216.87 Mb of 9 chromosomes and a contig N50 of 18.25 Mb.

In a study published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators investigated the growth and climate sensitivity of Abies spectabilis (Himalayan silver fir) along an elevation gradient in the Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) National Park (SNP). They wanted to identify the key climatic factors limiting the growth of A. spectabilis along its elevational distribution range and assess the changes in long-term tree growth rates at various elevations.
