After a short winter, another round of blossoming is on again in Xishuangbanna, southwest China's Yunnan Province. Here is a collection of some blooming plants at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanic Garden.
Chinese scientists have discovered a new begonia species in Yunnan Province in southwest China, removing another one from the list of many tuberous species estimated yet to be discovered or described in the country.
Chinese scientists have discovered that pollen flow can be an indicator of the Asian summer monsoon's intensity and flow direction above the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The scientists studied a dataset of the surface pollen on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and found that the spatial distribution trend of the exotic tree pollen's relative abundance is highly coupled with the path of the Asian summer monsoon and the extent to which it encroached on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Four satellites of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) have recently passed tests in orbit and started operation in the network. The four satellites include the 41st, 49th, 50th and 51st satellites of the BDS family. The 50th and the 51st BDS satellites, launched on Nov. 23, 2019, are operating in medium Earth orbit, and were developed by the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
