Picea Linzhi forest in bomigang Township

Located 22 kilometers west of Zhamu Town, Bomi County, with a total area of 4600 hectares. Among them, the forest area is more than 2800 hectares, and the forest coverage rate is more than 61%. The growth rate, continuous growth period and unit volume of forest in the reserve are much higher than those of similar forests at home and abroad, especially spruce. The area has high mountains, dense trees, towering ancient trees, frequent activities of rare wild animals, and rich in various kinds of precious Chinese medicinal materials. In 1984, it was designated as a forest ecosystem nature reserve mainly for the protection of high-yield coniferous forest.

Geography

The spruce forest in Gang Township, Bomi County, Linzhi city is located in the northeast of the great bend of Yarlung Zangbo River, 22 kilometers west of Bomi County, Tibet, and in the middle and lower reaches of PALONG Zangbo River. Palongzangbo passes through the mountains and dense forest sea from northeast to southwest, where the warm air flows northward to form abundant precipitation and mild climate, becoming one of the central areas of modern glacier development on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, forming a rare marine glacier in China. The growth rate, continuous growth period and unit volume of forest in the reserve are much higher than those of similar forests at home and abroad, especially spruce. The area has high mountains, dense trees, towering ancient trees, frequent activities of rare wild animals, and rich in various kinds of precious Chinese medicinal materials.
