Researchers recorded more than 4,600 species of higher plants—nearly a quarter of Yunnan's total—within an area that accounts for just 0.25 percent of the province's land mass. The survey also identified 578 vertebrate species and hundreds of invertebrates, including newly discovered species and numerous new regional records.

"This is the first time we have a comprehensive understanding of what exists on Cangshan Mountain," Zhong said, adding that the findings address key gaps in baseline data on the region's biological resources.
