Fagaceae of China

The Fagaceae of China

On these pages you will find information on the species of Fagaceae found in China. Six genera occur within China, with an estimated total of 277 species (Castanea: 3;Castanopsis: 55;Fagus: 4;Lithocarpus: 105;Quercus: 109;Trigonobalanus: 1). Many species are important timber trees for local use, but only few species are cultivated commercially. Nuts ofFagus,Castanea, someLithocarpus and mostCastanopsis species are edible, and oil is extracted from the nuts ofFagus. Locally, nuts of the larger-fruited species are often collected for bracelets and necklaces. The nuts of the majority of species contain copious amounts of tannin soluble in water. Members of the Fagaceae family are often one of the main elements of both broad-leaved evergreen and mixed mesophytic forests between 500-3200 m. The three main genera have partially overlapping altitudinal ranges, withQuercus extending from lowland to the highest elevations, in contrast toLithocarpus (lowland-mid elevation) andCastanopsis (mostly mid elevation).
