THE "TREES-RUBBER -TEA" ECOLOGICAL MODEL IN THE CHINESE TROPICAL MONSOON REGION
我国热带季风区的“林—胶—茶生态模式”

This paper is a summing-up of building the "trees-rubber-tea" ecological model in the National Nanhai Farm, Hainan province, in recent 16 years. The farm founded in 1958 is located in the wildness of the strong-wind region of northeastern Hainan island. Primarily the oil palms were grown, and then, by 1975, the "trees-rubber-tea" ecological model was introduced as a result of the reform of the production policy. After 16 years practice, this model shows great superiority and benefits. The benefits include improving the environment, increasing the economic benefit about 40%-200%, raising the land use rate above 50%, solving the problem of employment, and so on. This model is obviously an efficient way to reduce disasters, stabilize production, and rationally utilize the natural resources in the Chinese tropical monsoon region.
