Changbai Mountain is an important ecological barrier in Northeast Asia, known as the "species gene pool". To protect this "scarce ecological paradise", Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve was established in 1960. Since then, the natural ecological protection and comprehensive scientific research of Changbai Mountain have been carried out in an all-round way. For decades, generations of scientific research and protection workers have taken root in the mountains and conducted long-term research on Changbai Mountain's geology and geomorphology, wildlife resources, etc. with a scientific perspective and a persistent and rigorous attitude.
Jia Xiang is a scientific researcher of Changbai Mountain Scientific Research Institute. He has been engaged in plant research in Changbai Mountain for 8 years. Jia Xiang told reporters that they mainly carried out basic research on Changbai Mountain forest ecology, natural environment, geology and geomorphology, hydrology and meteorology, and also protected and bred rare species. Generally speaking, it is to "touch the family" and "do physical examination" for Changbai Mountain to ensure the stable and orderly development of the entire ecosystem.
Scientific researchers like Jia Xiang, who are engaged in forest ecological protection, need to go to the front line frequently to access the original forest for first-hand research data.
"It is the mountains, rivers and plants here that are in our mind. We should always see, touch and smell them on the spot, so that we can have a direction and foundation for research and further explore the mystery of the Changbai Mountain forest ecosystem," said Jia Xiang.
