Betula Skvorsovii - Version 2014.3 [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] This species was recently discovered and therefore not much information is available about its population.It is confined to mountain areas in Qinghai and northwest Sichuan.~There is insufficient information available to carry out a full conservation assessment. It is therefore assessed as Data Deficient and needs further study.\textasciitilde [::Taxonomic Notes] Described for the first time by Ashburner and McAllister, 2013. [::Range Description] Endemic to China, this species is confined to the mountains of southwest China, more specifically in Qinghai and northwest Sichuan. [::Countries] Native:China (Sichuan) [::Population] This species is relatively rare. [::Habitat and Ecology] This species occurs as a shrub with several stems to 2.5 m. This species grows on dry slopes and thickets in association with species of spiny shrubs of Rosa, Caragana, Berberis, Zanthoxylum, Artemisia, Quercus~and Salix. [::Use and Trade] There is no use or trade information available for this species. [::Major Threat(s)] Soil erosion, water shortages and deforestation are major threats to the environment in the Qinghai Province, China. These threats are cause by extensive agriculture and mining activity. As this species is found growing in this area, it may be threatened by these environmental issues. In Sichuan Province, scrub land is heavily impacted by grazing from livestock such as yak, sheep and goats. Illegal logging in the forests as well as overgrazing has led to serious erosion on steep slopes in the western part of the Sichuan mountains. Increasing development and tourism in Sichuan Province is also expected to have negative impacts on the environment such as habitat degradation.
