What causes the endangerment of Putuo hornbeam?

The world is so big that there are no surprises, and we often encounter some strange things in our lives. Sometimes when people travel, they will also see some strange phenomena of scenic spots. While the industries of many new things in various countries in the world are developing, there are also some things that are slowly disappearing, or even completely destroyed, like some endangered rare animals, which are now beginning to be valued and protected by human beings.

But today I want to introduce to you not a rare animal, but a tree, let's find out what is special about this tree!

To introduce this tree, you must first get to know a temple, Huiji Temple. Huiji Temple is a temple located on the Buddha Ding Mountain of Putuo Mountain, commonly known as "Buddha Ding Mountain Temple", which covers an area of 20 acres and is one of the three major temples of Putuo Mountain. Huiji Temple was originally built in the Ming Dynasty and played a vital role in the cultural exchanges between ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

Every year, many believers and tourists will go to various temples on Putuo Mountain to worship and offer incense. Many tourists who go to Huiji Temple will see the locals gathered in front of a tree, so they come forward to ask, and find that this famous tree in Huiji Temple is so historical**.

This tree is the famous Putuo hornbeam, in fact, the varieties of trees are generally hidden to countless, why is this tree so special? In fact, in the past, the number of Putuo hornbeam in our country was not a lot, but now there is only one left in the world, in Huiji Temple. This degree of endangerment can be said to be more serious than the degree of endangerment of many rare animals, this tree is also listed as a national first-class key protected wild plant, the age of the tree has been more than 200 years, so every year there are many tourists to Huiji Temple, just to see this "unique tree".

Many tourists wonder, what is the reason for the endangerment of Putuo hornbeam? Experts say there are two reasons for this, one is human-caused: large-scale human deforestation and reclamation has led to a sharp decline in the population size of the hornbeam tree species, and its wild habitat has also changed.

The second reason is the influence of climate, hornbeam is often damaged by heavy rain and strong winds during the flowering period, and is affected by alkaline dust, resulting in low seed yield and poor quality.

However, there are also experts who are taking various methods to breed these hornbeam seedlings and contribute to the conservation of this species. Many netizens also sighed: Scarcity is expensive, we still have to take good care of the environment, and don't let more things face extinction. What do you think about this?

It should be due to the influence of climate, hornbeam is often destroyed by heavy rain and strong winds during the flowering period, and is affected by alkaline floating dust, resulting in low seed yield and poor quality.

There are many reasons why the Putuo hornbeam is so endangered, first of all, due to the indiscriminate felling of the original forest vegetation on Putuo Island, deforestation and reclamation, and the destruction of the ecological environment, resulting in the decline of the original plants.

Because the only Putuo hornbeam in the world is a male flower, and there is no female pollination, there is little hope for survival, so a seed is put into space to mutate and make it grow stronger.

In a certain sense, a tree more precious than the national treasure giant panda, "Putuo hornbeam".

Putuo hornbeam is monoecious, but the flowering time of female and male flowers is staggered.

It can't be just one wild plant, there are wild ones in Shandong! I have it too!

Putuo hornbeam is a deciduous tree, monoecious. The male inflorescence is shorter than the female inflorescence. Endemic to China, there is only one plant left under natural growth, which is located on the west side of Huiji Temple in Putuo Foding Mountain, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province.

Northeast, Northwest, Central South, because this plant has particularly high requirements for the environment, it is very rare and not common in many places.

In Huiji Temple, its leaves are oval and generally bloom in spring, and it is also a key protected plant in China.

The rarest tree in the world is the Putuo hornbeam of the genus Hornbeam of the birch family, which is a deciduous tree with a height of 14 meters and a diameter at breast height of 70 cm, and is monoecious. The male inflorescence is shorter than the female inflorescence. In 1930, Professor Zhong Guanguan discovered it at an altitude of 240 meters above sea level in Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang, and in 1932, Professor Zheng Wanjun identified and named it Putuo hornbeam.

Because it only grows in China's Putuo Mountain, and there is only one tree left, this tree has been listed as a national key protected plant and is a national first-class protected endangered species. Putuo hornbeam grows at an altitude of 240 meters above sea level on the slope of the Lingshang slope forest edge, it has the characteristics of shade tolerance, drought tolerance, wind resistance, etc., male and female flowers open in early April, and bear fruit and mature at the end of September and early October.

Putuo hornbeam (scientific name: carpinus putoensis cheng), a deciduous tree, endemic to China, only one plant remains under the condition of natural growth, located in the west side of Huiji Temple in Putuo Foding Mountain, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province. The height of the tree is 13 meters, the diameter of the main trunk is centimeters at breast height, the lateral trunk is centimeters, and the canopy covers an area of 72 square meters.

It is listed as a national first-class key protected plant. Monoecious, the male inflorescence is shorter than the female. The male and female flowers bloom in early April, and the fruits ripen in late September and early October.

It has the characteristics of shade resistance, drought resistance, wind resistance and so on. It is an endemic and rare plant in China, which is of great significance in the preservation of species and natural landscapes, and is a national first-class protected endangered species. A large number of Putuo hornbeam seedlings have been bred through technology, so that they are temporarily out of danger of extinction.

Botanically belonging to the genus Hornbeam in the birch family. There are about 40 species of plants in this genus in the world, and 22 species are produced in China. It is widely distributed and has its footprints in North China, Northwest China, Central China, East China, and Southwest China.

Some of these types of wood are hard and densely grained, and can be used to make furniture, gadgets and agricultural tools. Some species have beautiful leaf shapes, peculiar fruit spikes, and dense branches and leaves, which are famous garden ornamental plants.

On the west side of Huiji Temple, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, there is a rare treasure tree that only exists in the world - Putuo hornbeam.

Hornbeam is a deciduous tree belonging to the birch family, which is shade-tolerant, barren and thin, and likes neutral soil, so it is not uncommon in some areas of Northeast China, North China, East China, Northwest China, Central South and Southwest China. It's just that as a kind of hornbeam genus, Putuo hornbeam is "the only fruit left". It was discovered in 1930 by Professor Zhong Guanguan, a botanist in China, and officially named by Professor Zheng Wanjun, a forester, in 1932.

The Putuo hornbeam is about 14 meters high, with a trunk diameter of 60 centimeters and a canopy width of about 12 meters. The leaves are ovate-elliptic, rounded at the base, heavily serrated at the margins, often hairy along the veins. The petioles are densely hairy.

It blooms in spring, and has many leaf-like bracts on the inflorescence, and the fruit buds are oblong or ovate, with small ovate nuts, born at the base of the partial bracts.

Because it is a unique plant in the world, Putuo hornbeam has been listed as a national key protection object.

In this world of the jungle, it is difficult for the weak to survive, and we humans stand at the top of the food chain, so we stand out from it. Some animals or plants that are not as good as humans gradually die and even become endangered due to time or environmental reasons, and we humans have taken on the task of protecting these endangered animals and plants. There is such a tree in our country, which is an endangered plant, because this tree has only one "single seedling" left in the world, which is nearly 250 years old, but this tree cannot rely on the natural environment to reproduce, which is why it is an endangered plant.

The only tree in the world is the Putuo hornbeam, which is now located in the Putuo Mountain Scenic Area of Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China, in 1930 by the famous plant taxonomist Professor Zhong Guanguan discovered, is the world's only one remaining Putuo hornbeam wild plant, is the least existing species in the "national 120 species of wild plant species with very small populations", so it is called "the only son of the world". In our country, the Putuo hornbeam has been included in the "IUCN Red List of Endangered Species".

Its status in our country is higher than the status of the giant panda, our country attaches great importance to its protection, but also for it to list Putuo Mountain as a national key natural scenery reserve, and also set up a special management bureau, and in order to prevent tourists from climbing, but also set up a fence around the tree, which shows the importance of our country to it.

In order to make the Putuo hornbeam no longer become an endangered species, our country has carried out various breeding experiments on it, and even let it carry out space breeding experiments, although the effect is not very significant, but our country is still continuing to work hard, I believe that this tree is no longer the only tree in the world, it will definitely have a companion to accompany it, it is just a matter of time. Of course, this tree is also considered by many people to be the most "precious" tree in the world, what do you think about this endangered tree species or what do you want to say? Let's discuss!

The famous Putuo Mountain is not only famous for its ancient temples, but also has many ancient trees and famous trees. However, there is only one hornbeam plant, so it is more precious.

Yes, this is a sacred tree that grows on Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, and it is said that there is only one left in the world.

It is very precious because this tree only grows in China's Putuo Mountain, and its number is so small that it is almost extinct.

Yes, very precious. Endemic to China, it is only found in the Zhoushan Islands of Zhejiang. Born in hillside forests.

Putuo hornbeam has the characteristics of shade tolerance, drought tolerance, wind resistance and so on. There is only one endemic and rare plant in China, which is of great significance in preserving the species and adding to the scenery of the natural scenic spot of Putuo Island.
