Abstract:Aims Parashorea chinensis, an endangered plant listed as the first class protected in China, now survives in local
fragmented forests in Mengla, Hekou in Yunnan and Bama, Tianyang, Longzhou, Napo in Guangxi. We developed regression models
for individual growth, age structure and biomass and analyzed population density, age structure, biomass dynamics and
survivorship curves for local populations and the entire population in Mengla, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, SW China. Our
objective was to understand the population dynamics to aid protection of this endangered plant.
Methods We established different numbers and sizes of plots (50 m × 20 m or 100 m × 20 m ) in five local patches according
to patch size, and each plot was divided into 10 m × 10 m subplots to measure the height, diameter at breast height (DBH) or
basal diameter and crown of each individual >0.5 m height. We also measured height, basal diameter and crown of each
individual <0.5 m height in 2 m × 2 m quadrats in each subplot.
Important findings There were large differences in population density and age structure as well as mortality rate for
different age stages of local populations in different patches. The local population density of the patch in which some trees
were cut was 3-4 times as much as the patch which was protected and 16-18 times as much as the patch which was planted with
Amomum villosum.Moreover, the local population of the smallest patch had no mature individuals and lacked individuals in
some age stages. Although the biomass of local populations showed logistic increase with stand age, maximum biomass and
biomass dynamics with time were different for local populations. The survivorship curve of the entire population was
approximately a straight line, indicating that the age structure of entire population was stable and increasing. The
mortality of 1-60 year-old individuals declined, mortality of 60-150 year-old individuals increased with age, and peak
mortality occurred after 180 years. The biomass of the entire population was consistent with logistic growth before 180 years
and was at a maximum at a bout 180 years. However, some patches had been so badly disturbed that the local populations were
on the edge of extinction. Effective steps must be taken to protect this endangered plant population.
