Tallest tree in Asia found in Tibet
西藏102.3米“高樹”刷新亞洲紀錄
The record for the tallest tree in Asia was revised this week, as the Chinese researchers of a scientific investigation led by Peking University announced that they discovered a giant cypress measuring 102.3 meters in the Tibet autonomous region.
近日,由北京大學牽頭的聯合調查隊在位于雅魯藏布國家級自然保護區內,發現了一棵高達102.3米的巨型柏木,此次發現刷新了按樹種排名的亞洲紀錄。
The record-breaking tree, called Cupressus torulosa, was found at the national nature reserve of Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon in Bome county, Nyingchi city.
這棵破紀錄的樹名為西藏柏木,是在林芝市波姆縣的雅魯藏布大峽谷國家自然保護區發現的。
The team members used drones and laser radar to map the local cypress aggregation area and confirmed the presence of the 102.3-meter tree.
聯合調查隊通過采用無人機激光雷達對西藏柏木的聚生區域進行精確測繪,并確認了這棵102.3米高的樹的存在。
They also detected a large number of trees over 85 meters high, including 25 measuring over 90 meters.
此外,他們還發現了大量85米以上的樹木,其中包含了90米以上高樹25棵。
The findings have also contributed to the region having the highest density of giant trees in China and Asia, said a team member from Peking University.
一位調查隊成員表示,經過精確測量,這些發現也有助于該地區成為中國和亞洲巨樹高度和分布密度最高的區域。
Mainly distributed in southeastern Tibet, the tree has a narrow distribution area and a small population. It has been listed as a national first-class protected plant.
西藏柏木主要分布在我國藏東南區域,分布區域很狹窄,種群數量稀少,被列為國家一級重點保護植物。
The previous China tree height record holder was an evergreen fir measured at 83.2 meters by scientists in Tibet last year.
之前的中國樹木高度紀錄保持者是一棵南黃果冷杉,由科學家2022年在西藏察隅縣測量發現,高83.4米。
