Shennongjia is located on the eastern edge of the second level of terrain in China. Shennongjia is also in a transition zone, where the subtropical climate changes to a warm temperate climate characterized by the north subtropical monsoon climate. The landform of Shennongjia belongs to the subalpine mountains of the Eastern Daba mountain range. Shennongjia is obvious seasonal precipitation, with an annual precipitation of 800 to 2500 mm. Hubei Shennongjia has a vigorous water system which distributes radially around the Da and Xiao Shennongjia. The area’s unique geographical location and climatic characteristics make it an area of both transition and intersection for plants and animals and mean it is rich in species.
