Genetic Diversity Conservation and Development of Some Rare and Endangered Species of Beech Forests in China's Subtropical Mountainous Areas

摘要

Conservation and development are among the most important issues in both the developed and developing countries. Humphrey &. Stith (1990) commented that conservation of species and undamaged habitats as a practice of human cultures has developed likea three-legged stool. Each leg is necessary but not sufficient. The legs of the conservation stool are sustainable use of renewable resources, species recovery, and habitat preservation. Sustainable development is the most effective way for better conservation.
