Abstract：
Wild plants are an important part of the natural ecological system, and China is one of the countries with the most abundant wild plant species. It is of great significance to study the distribution characteristics, protection status and of potential distribution areas of National Key Protected Wild Plants for supporting and formulating biodiversity conservation strategies. In this study, we built an occurrence database containing 1 032 species (belonging to 315 genera, 129 families) of National Key Protected Wild Plants, then used the top 5% richness algorithm to identify hotspots and evaluate the conservation effectiveness and gaps of current nature reserves. Furthermore, we used maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to predict the potential distribution and range shifts of National Key Protected Wild Plants. The results were as follows: (1) The areas with the highest species richness of the National Key Protected Wild Plants mainly confined to south and southwest of China, especially central Sichuan, southern and southeastern Yunnan, northern Guangxi, northern Guangdong and Hainan. (2) The conservation effectiveness of hotspot grid cells showed that 171 (85.50 %) hotspots are efficient protection (including 80.5 % of total species) and 29 hotspots (14.50 %) are not effectively protected (including 51.2 % of total species). (3) By comparing the potential distribution of National Key Protected Wild Plants under current and future climate scenarios, we found that potential distribution would expand to southeast of Xizang, southwestern Guangxi, southern Guangdong, and southern Fujian in the future, while those around Sichuan Basin, southern Yunnan and southern Guizhou would shrink. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the dynamic monitoring of biodiversity and pay continuous attention to the impact of climate change on National Key Protected Wild Plants in the region. Based on the analysis results of hotspot grids, conservation effectiveness and potential distribution areas identified in this study, strong data support and reference can be provided for the identification of national priority protected areas for National Key Protected Wild Plants diversity and the formulation of conservation policies.

Abstract： In order to protect and develop wild orchids resources in Beipan river basin of Guizhou, scientifically screening high ornamental value orchids and exploring their environmental adaptation characteristics are of great significance to better research and protection orchids. This study, taking orchids distributing in Beipan river basin of Guizhou as the research project, selected species with high ornamental value based on analytic hierarchy process, and used clustering and redundancy analysis to identify the species composition of plant functional groups under different environmental conditions. The results were as follows: (1) There were 74 genera and 249 species (including varieties) of orchids, the horizontal distribution was concentrated in the border area of Wangmo and Ziyun and the western area of Panzhou. In the vertical distribution, the orchids were mainly distributed in the range of 800-1 600 m. (2) Orchids in the study area can be divided into three ornamental grades, the first was the excellent grade for development, with 51 species, the second was the reserve grade for development, with 170 species, the third had 28 species with low ornamental value, which were not necessary to be developed as ornamental plants. (3) Development optimal levels of ornamental orchids in the study area can be divided into four ecological function groups, which were low-altitude shade-requiring non-limestone mountain functional group, low-altitude heliophile limestone mountain functional group, intermediate-altitude shade-requiring limestone mountain functional group and high-altitude heliophile non-limestone mountain functional group, respectively. The types of adaptation of orchids to the environment vary greatly among different functional groups. Through screening high ornamental value orchids and study of their ecological function groups in the study area, it is conducive to application, scientific protection and field regression of orchids in the future.

Abstract： In-depth exploration of the species abundance distribution (SAD) pattern of plant communities under different terrains in the subtropical karst area can reveal the mechanism of formation of the SAD of the community under different terrains, thereby enriching the theory of plant community construction in this area. In this paper, the arbor layer and shrub layer of plant communities under four typical landforms of ridge, trough, saddle and depression in Maolan karst area of Guizhou Province were used as the objects. The empirical cumulative distribution function(ECDF) was used to characterize the SAD, at the same time, the Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to analyze the differences in species abundance between different terrains. Then different ecological models were used for fitting, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) were used to detect model acceptance and goodness of fit. The results were as follows: (1) There were differences in the number of individuals and species in plant communities under different terranes, the number of individuals in saddles was the most, the number of species in depressions was the most, and the number of individuals and species in ridges was the least. (2) There were significant differences among shrub layers, between ridge and saddle, between ridge and depression, between saddle and trough valley, and between saddle and depression, while there were no significant differences in the SAD of arbor layers in plant communities under different terrains. (3) The SAD of the arbor layer under different terrains was well accepted by the neutral model. The ridge fits best, but all terrains were poorly accepted by ecological models, only the ridge and saddle passed through the two niche models, and the goodness of fit was not as good as that of the neutral model. The shrub layer was also well accepted by the neutral model with the best fit of the saddle, but it was poorly accepted by the niche model, and only the depression passed the broken stick model. Overall, the arbor layer was more acceptable to the two ecological models than the shrub layer, probably because the SAD of the arbor layer had more obvious imprints of ecological processes. However, the difference in the goodness of fit of the shrub layer under different terrains is greater, which may be related to the more drastic changes of the shrub layer species to the environment. Consequently, different terrains lead to different ecological processes of community construction, and the SAD pattern gradually adapts to the terrain.

Abstract： Paphiopedilum of Orchidaceae is a “flagship” group in biodiversity conservation, with high research value and ornamental value, and it grows in special environment. In order to understand the resource status and conservation effect of Paphiopedilum in Guizhou Province, this study conducted a special investigation of wild Paphiopedilum, and the resource status, distribution pattern, threatened factors and local protection of them were analyzed. The results were as follows: (1) A total of 103 distribution sites of 8 species of Paphiopedilum were found in this special survey, distributed in 27 Counties, with the southern and southwestern regions as the main distribution areas. Their habitats are complex and diverse, and the natural distribution are uneven; (2) Their distribution areas are sorted from the largest to the smallest as P. micranthum > P. barbigerum > P. malipoense > P. bellatulum > P. hirsutissimum > P. dianthum > P. emersonii > P. concolor, the order of resource richness from high to low is P. micranthum > P. barbigerum > P. hirsutissimum > P. bellatulum > P. malipoense > P. emersonii > P. dianthum > P. concolor; (3) The plants of this genus suffer from complex disturbance factors and serious threats, among which overexploitation, drought, habitat degradation and fragmentation are the main reasons for its endangered status; (4) Two species of the genus “effective protection (EP)”, one species of “well protection (WP)”, two species of “general protection (GP)”, three species of “less protection (LP)”, two species of “unknown protection status (UPS)” because no target species were found. The species conservation rate was 100%, but the conservation rate of distribution sites was 29.13%. There were significant differences in population conservation rates among different species. It is suggested that relevant departments should enhance the protection intensity of Paphiopedilum plants in Guizhou, and further optimize the protection mode and scope, so as to ensure the sustainable survival and development of these rare and endangered plant resources.

Abstract： This study used national protected wild plants as indicator species and combined with the statistical survey information of national protected wild plants on the county (city, district) to analyze the geographical distribution feature of species richness based on the GIS technology in Guizhou Province. We applied Dobson algorithm to identify the protection priority area of national protected plant. Then we used the information of existing nature reserves to assess the protection status of the national protected wild plants priority conservation areas in Guizhou. The results were as follows: (1) In terms of the species richness distribution of the national key protected wild plants in Guizhou, the Southern region is generally higher than the northern region, and the species richness of the area extending inland from the provincial boundary is obviously decreasing. (2) In terms of the 75% and 100% national protected wild plants conservation levels,four and seventeen counties (cities, districts) were identified priority conservation areas, for example Libo County, respectively. Among them, 1 and 9 national priority zones of key protection of wild plants cover less than 5% of the nature reserves, and 68.26% of the areas involved were city/county level. (3) The areas with abundant wild plant species under state key protection and the biodiversity hotspots in the whole province have good spatial correspondence with the selected priority areas in Guizhou. (4) Local protection of wild plants under state key protection should be carried out in priority areas with rich geographical distribution of wild plants under state key protection combined with priority areas selected in this study in Guizhou.
