The Yunnan Plateau subtropical evergreen forests is an endangered ecoregion in southwestern China.These forests once covered the western parts of the Yungui Plateau but have been significantly reduced and replaced with agricultural land uses.
In east-central Yunnan, parts of the Yungui Plateau experience a semi-arid climate. In most of Guizhou, the climate is classified as humid subtropical. The Yungui Plateau is covered by subtropical evergreen forests for much of its Yunnan portions and by mixed broadleaf forests for the Guizhou portions. [8] [9]
While much of the original subtropical evergreen broadleaf forests in this ecoregion has been extirpated due to habitat conversion, secondary forests, seasonal tropical forests, and conifer forests now dominate. Remaining tracts of the original forest vegetation can still be found in protected areas and along inaccessible hills. [1]

The forest is broadly classified as Sino-Himalayan Temperate Forest and Sino-Himalayan Subtropical Forest. More specifically, the forest types include tropical rainforest and seasonal tropical forest (<1,000 m above sea level), laurel forest (1,000–2,600 m), temperate (montane) deciduous broad-leaf forest (1,000–3,000 m), subalpine ...
The region is also a climatic divide between the temperate valleys of the north and the subtropical forests of the south. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The region is important for biodiversity and endemic species. The rugged limestone karst hills have been relatively protected from conversion to agriculture, and support specialized plant and animal communities.
