Prosperous World: The Himalayas are called "treasure houses of life", and the animal and plant resources are too rich, and the Himalayas are below 1100 meters and are tropical rainforests. At 1100 m to 2400 m, it is a mountain subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest belt at an altitude of 2100-4000 meters, a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest belt, 4000 m to 5200 m, which is the world of alpine shrubland and meadow vegetation. The altitude is above 5200 meters, which is a summary of the alpine ice and snow belt

When you think of the Himalayas, you might think of Mount Everest, and then of snow-capped, deserted mountains. Maybe you will feel that it is cold and inaccessible here, and there should be no creatures that will choose to be home here, right? In fact, unlike what everyone thinks, on the sunny slope of the eastern Himalayas, it can be said that there is a unique hole in the sky, and scientists praise it as "the treasure house of biology".

The Himalayas are the "homeland of snow" and are located in the southern part of the Tibetan Plateau. The main peak, Mount Everest, is 8844.43 meters above sea level, making it the world's highest peak. Now, it is still growing at a rate of 1 centimeter per year.

The biggest feature of the Himalayas is the soaring height. Depending on the altitude and amount of rainfall, the Himalayas form a variety of climatic characteristics. There are many plants and animals here, and the distribution is even and reasonable, which makes people marvel at the creation of nature.

The vegetation of the Himalayas can be roughly divided into four zones: tropical, subtropical, temperate and alpine.

The low mountains and foothills below 1,000 meters above sea level are tropical rainforest belts dominated by Borneo double trees.

This is a primeval forest embedded in a snowy plateau, a wet and fertile paradise. The wildlife resources here are very rich, and it is known as the "World Museum of Animals and Plants". The forest coverage rate is as high as 80%, and more than 100 kinds of rare and protected animals of the country are inhabited, such as Bengal tigers and antelopes.

There are also thousand fruit olive kernels, adine maple, fishtail sunflower, betel nut, Hainan rough oak, Ni vine and other plants. This is the oxygen bar of the Himalayas. Although the latitude here has exceeded the Tropic of Cancer, it still presents a lush rainforest landscape, which is a miracle.

In this subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, there are mainly evergreen tree species such as camphor tree, zhennan, qinggang, stone oak, magnolia, and wood lotus. The forest is lush and lush, with a variety of vines.

Long-tailed langurs, green-throated sunbirds, and red pandas are common in the forest, showing the characteristics of tropical and subtropical biota. Other precious tree species are: Tibetan tree, Mertrin, Tongmai oak and so on.

It is home to drought-tolerant tree species such as Yunnan hemlock, alpine oak and qiao pine. Hemlocks and firs are towering into the clouds, some are as tall as more than twenty floors, and the thick ones require seven or eight adults to hold in a circle. The animals here also have the habit of migrating, moving vertically with the changes of the seasons. At an altitude of 3100 to 3900 meters, it is a mountainous dark coniferous forest belt dominated by Himalayan fir.

The forest is closed and wet, the ground is covered with moss on the stones and trees, and the long pines and roses are hanging and fluttering, forming a yellow-green "tree beard". Forest musk and black bears like this environment very much, and like to pick up long pine roses that are epiphytic on fir trees.

During a recent expedition, the staff also discovered a new species of macaque, which lives at an altitude of 2,000 to 3,600 meters and is one of the highest monkeys in the world in its habitat. There is also a dark blue flowering plant here, and the color of this flowering plant changes according to temperature, which is very rare.

In the spring season, rhododendrons bloom, and primroses, artemisia macinalis, and Weiling vegetables surround it, decorating this ancient mountain range with extraordinary beauty.

China's first-class protected animal "antelope" lives in this beautiful large flower bed.

Even at high altitudes and low temperatures, there are still some flora and fauna, such as snow leopards, brown bears, red pandas and Tibetan yaks.

With more than 10,000 species of plants, 300 species of mammals and nearly 1,000 species of birds in the eastern Himalayas, and the last place on earth where the one-horned rhinoceros can be found, it is no wonder that people praise it as a "treasure trove of life". This vast culture and biodiversity is becoming increasingly vulnerable as the climate warms. I hope that everyone can raise their awareness of environmental protection and love our planet. #Science v Project# Content is author-generated
