• Centres of plant endemism in China: places for survival or for speciation? (2011, unknown): “China [‘China’ is used here as the geographical entity including the lands currently under the jurisdiction of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) according to the United Nations criterion, which includes Taiwan within the PRC] has one of the world’s richest floras with at least 30,000 vascular pla”
• Invasive alien plants in China: diversity and ecological insights (2008, background): “…trade, translating into ecological side effects that are of direct significance for the spread of weeds and invasive species, e.g. construction of new roads and railways, increased disturbance, ecological construction, and increased species introductions (Liu et al. 2003; López-Pujol et al. 2006).”
• Distribution and conservation of threatened plants in China (2015, unknown): “The pattern is also consistent with the distribution of endemic plants in China (López-Pujol et al., 2006; Huang, 2011), partly because the threatened plants in China are mostly endemic to China (67.”
• Distribution and conservation of orchid species richness in China (2015, unknown): “The pattern of orchid richness is coincident with that of other groups in China (López-Pujol et al., 2006; Tang et al. 2006; Zhang and Ma, 2008; Wang et al., 2011).”
• High plant endemism in China is partially linked to reduced glacial‐interglacial climate change (2016, background): “Because of these patterns and the hypothesized buffering by the complex topography in southern China, China’s flora has been suggested to be less influenced by the Pleistocene glaciations than North America and Europe (Qian & Ricklefs, 1999; L opez-Pujol et al., 2006).”
