Valley Rainforest

This type is distributed in small, patchy areas within valley terrains at elevations of 400–800 meters. The forest community stands 28–30 meters tall with a canopy closure of 0.8–0.9. The trees are all evergreen, tall broad-leaved species, with the tallest reaching up to 35 meters and the largest DBH measuring up to 130 centimeters. There is no dominant species, and the highest importance value is less than 30. The vertical stratification of the community is not distinct, with upper-layer trees about 25–35 meters tall, commonly including Castanopsis hystrix, Dacrycarpus imbricatus, Shorea hemsleyana, and Cephalotaxus mannii. The middle layer mostly consists of shade-tolerant tree species around 15–20 meters tall, such as Vatica astrotricha and Cryptocarya chinensis. The lower-layer trees, besides saplings, include Lasianthus chinensis and Psychotria rubra, about 5–10 meters tall. The understory shrubs are not numerous, mainly consisting of Licuala and Calamus. Near streams, there are Cyathea podophylla, Pandanus utilis, and Alocasia macrorrhizos. Herbaceous plants are scarce, apart from tree saplings, including Lophatherum gracile and Alpinia japonica. Lianas are quite abundant, especially woody climbers such as Entada phaseoloides and Bauhinia scandens, which climb up to the forest canopy. Epiphytes are even more diverse, with species like Asplenium nidus, Rhaphidophyllum hongkongense, Vittaria flexuosa, and Pholidota chinensis commonly found growing on tree trunks, fallen logs, or rocks under the forest. The forest also exhibits phenomena such as "strangler plants," buttress roots, cauliflory, and drip-tip leaves.
