Giant cypress at 101.2 meters found in SW China's Tibet

A research team led by the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBCAS) has found a giant cypress measuring 101.2 meters in Nyingchi City, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

Besides, the team members detected a large number of trees over 80 meters high, including 25 measuring over 90 meters.

The findings have contributed to the region's high density of giant trees. The ecological protection efforts in Nyingchi are also necessary conditions for many tall trees.
