Mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest

Mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest is the basic vegetation type in the Changbai Mountain area, found at elevations of 500–1,000 meters. It is mainly distributed along both sides of Houzaizi Gully and Jixing Gully, with scattered patches along both sides of Taocan Gully, covering an area of approximately 207.5 hectares. The dominant tree species is Korean pine, mixed with a variety of broad-leaved species, mainly including Manchurian linden, Amur corktree, Mongolian oak, Chinese elm, yellow birch, Acer mono, Amur corktree, Korean poplar, Korean linden, and Manchurian walnut. The tree canopy typically has two to three layers, with the upper layer primarily composed of Korean pine and linden trees, while other species often form the second and third layers. The understory mainly consists of shade-tolerant shrubs such as hazelnut, mountain strawberry, Northeastern goatberry, small-flowered deutzia, and eleutherococcus. Herbaceous plants are mainly represented by Carex quadriflora, Carex ussuriensis, and Gymnocarpium oyamense, along with others like Bidens tripartita and Diarrhena mandshurica.
