Extended data:
There is little difference in vegetation distribution between north and south in Ningbo, but there is obvious difference between east and west. The main forest vegetation is Pinus massoniana, which is distributed in the north and south of the city, and most of the cash crops planted have strong adaptability.
With the different altitude, coniferous forest, broad-leaved forest, cultivated plants and coastal vegetation are distributed in turn from west to east. Coniferous forests are distributed at the top of the mountain, mostly formed by secondary succession, and some well-protected areas also have mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. Broad-leaved forests are distributed in mountains and hills below 750 meters, and a considerable part of them are formed by artificial afforestation.
Tiantong Forest Park, Ruiyansi Forest Farm, Ninghai Nanxi Hot Spring and other places have preserved primitive broad-leaved forest communities. Most cultivated plants are located below 50 meters above sea level, including food crops, cash crops and artificially cultivated trees. Salt-tolerant plants such as Artemisia halophila and reed are distributed in beaches and coastal wasteland.
