During the past ten years, seven long-term monitoring platforms have been set up for forest ecosystem research. These platforms include:(1) Plots of secondary successive communities of EBLF(2) Forest dynamic plot for species coexistence research, belonging to CTFS and Chinese Forest Biodiversity Monitoring Network(3) Forest dynamic plot for plant function and trait research(4) Extreme drought e...

The research of Zhejiang Tiantong Forest Ecosystem National Observation Research Station mainly aims to explore: (1) species coexistence and the maintenance of biodiversity, especially in subtropical forests; (2) the underlying mechanisms of terrestrial responses to global climate change, which facilitate the regional projections of ecosystem functions in this area

Close cooperation has been established between Zhejiang Tiantong Forest Ecosystem National Observation Research Station and the German Federal Agency for Nature Conversation, Griffith University, Australia, Northern Arizona University, etc. The main fields of cooperation are vegetation restoration, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and global change ecology

Zhejiang Tiantong Forest Ecosystem National Observation Research Station provides field courses for around 400 undergraduate students per year. Regular summer courses are organized for young students to enhance their responsibilities for ecological and environmental protection
