In a study published in Diversity, Prof. ZHU Hua and TAN Yunhong of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to review and clarify the diversity, origin, and evolution of the flora and vegetation of Yunnan.

In a study published in European Journal of Agronomy, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to explore the responses of the carbon-water coupling of rubber plantation to phenological changes, stand ages, planting densities, as well as hydrothermal conditions.

In a study published in Science of The Total Environment, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) investigated the soil HMs contamination and pollution sources in a typical coal industrial city. They quantified the ecological and human health risks of soil HMs from different sources, by a comprehensive approach combining risk assessments with positive matrix factorization (PMF) model.

In a study published in Sustainability, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to uncover how local people are driven to engage in habitat conservation, so as to provide realistic recommendation and coordination for building environmentally sustainable rural communities.

In a study published in Journal of Animal Ecology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to explore how climate affects the multitrophic biotic interactions as well as the community structure by using a multitrophic fig wasp community.

In a study published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) provide a rich resource to uncover the multiple layers of the gene regulatory network involved in pulvinus development and signal transduction in the model legume M. truncatula.

During floristic exploration of Mêdog, Tibet, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) collected some unknown Agapetes materials of an interesting plant with fruits from two locations in the understory of a primeval subtropical forest. After careful morphological comparison, they confirmed the plant represents a new Agapetes species and published it in Taiwania.

In a study published in Annals of Botany, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) identified four morphological syndromes of trunk spines. Two corresponded to already known functions (anchorage for lianas and crown defense against large ground mammals), and two strategies are newly described trait syndromes with traits suggesting a defense against bark feeding and climbing mammals.

In a study published in Land Degradation & Development, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) quantified soil water flow behavior in the banana plantation and the effect of soil physical properties on water transport, by using the high-resolution dyeing technique at the plot scales.

In a study published in Journal of Hydrology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) present the first multi-centennial spring- to early-summer season (March–July) streamflow reconstruction for the Karnali River in the central Himalaya by using moisture-sensitive tree ring-width chronologies of multiple tree species.

In a study published in Animal Cognition, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) assessed the conspecific aggressiveness plasticity in response to the social environment (social living, isolation and resocialization) of Toxeus magnus. They further examined the proximate mechanism underlying the reversal to low aggression during resocialization.

In a study published in Geoderma, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to estimate the potential response of soil aggregates of different particle sizes to splash erosion under natural rainfall conditions by comparing two land-use regimes, primary tropical rainforest (TR) and managed rubber plantation (RP) in Xishuangbanna.
