Welcome to the PRG!
The Paleoecology Group at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG), Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of the most renowned Chinese botanical institutions in Ecology and Botany, focuses on the global change in deep time. Using both fossil and living plant materials, the group studies paleoenvironmental changes during the Cenozoic Era and their impacts on paleobiodiversity and paleoecology. Currently, we are working on the paleoenvironmental changes in southwestern China, with special attention to the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. More than ten Neogene fossil sites in this region have been excavated, yielding thousands of well-preserved fossil plants.
