Mongolian Oak Forest

The Mongolian Oak Forest is a natural secondary forest formed after the destruction of zonal vegetation. It is widely distributed in Yangjiagou, to the east of Tiaocangou, and on both sides of Jixinggou, covering an area of 1,348.0 hectares. In addition to Mongolian oaks and five-angled maples, the forest also includes small amounts of other species such as black birch, manchurian linden, and pagoda dogwood growing among them. The understory shrubs are relatively simple but vary depending on the site conditions. Where the soil layer is thicker at the lower slopes, hazelnuts are more common; at the upper slopes with thinner soil, lespedeza is more abundant; on ridges and steep slopes, rhododendrons can be found. The ground cover consists of a variety of drought-resistant plants such as atractylodes, four-flower sedge, great hogfennel, wormwood, astilbe, fiddlehead ferns, and edible ferns.
