On 24 December, 2015, the meeting was held in Beijing. The specialist group led by academician Yiyu Chen and Honglie Sun, the leaders in Ministry of Science And Technology and CAI heard the reports.

The project was started from 2014 and will last for 5years, aimed to investigate the back ground situation of plant communities and soil organisms in the 38 national natural forest reserves and adjacent areas so as to construct complet and dynamic maps showing distribution of plant and plant communities and soil orfanisms in Northeast China, construct databases and information sharing platform. The data obtained will provide support to the research development of restoration ecology, Community ecology, forest soil science and soil microbiology, but also to the regional assessment on biodiversity, reservation of endangered species and multi- purpose planning for natural reserves.

On the meeting, Prof Lihua Wang, Prof Zhongling Guo, Associate Prof Zunqiang Zheng, Prof Qqingfan Meng,Prof Jinhua Yu reported the advancement of their investigation work and periodical achievement, for the whole project and respectively, for plant communities, soils, soil microorganisms and soil fauna.

The specialist group considered the project was well carried out according to the plan and the method for investigation was innovative. Academician Yiyu Chen suggested that the project should concentrate on the restorative succession of human-disturbed communities, taking the originally stable communities in reserved area as frame of reference so as to accomplish the plan fulfilling both quality and quantity requirements. Attention should be given to normalization of the method of investigation and to the cooperativity of data processing, so to exploit the advantage of different sub-disciplines, forming richer data sets. Academician Honglie Sun suggested the project to consider that the similar plant communities may be developed on different parent soil material.

The responsible scientist of the project, Prof Lihua Wang expressed that the research group members will seriously consider and understand the suggestions, futher condense the goal, revise the inadequacy, improve the data quality so as to serve the requirement of whole nation and local society.
