		Larches are among the dominant plants in the immense boreal forests of Russia and Canada.
		Larch cones are erect, small, 1-9 cm long, green or purple, ripening brown 5-8 months after pollination; in about half the species the bract scales are long and visible, and in the others, short and hidden between the seed scales.
		Larches are prone to the fungal canker disease Lachnellula willkommii (Larch Canker); this is particularly a problem on sites prone to late spring frosts, which cause minor injuries to the tree allowing entry to the fungal spores.

		They are deciduous trees, growing from 15-50 m tall, and are native to much of the cooler temperate northern hemisphere, on lowlands in the far north, and high on mountains further south.
		The shoots are dimorphic, with growth divided into long shoots typically 10-50 cm long and bearing several buds, and short shoots only 1-2 mm long with only a single bud.
		Those native to northern regions have small cones (1-3 cm) with short bracts, with more southerly species tending to have longer cones (3-9 cm) with exserted bracts, with the longest cones and bracts produced by the southernmost species, in the Himalaya.

	Tibet introduction:
		Recently, many rural Tibetans have begun attributing poor living conditions to their large families and have sought to local government for help requiring that the medical departments of the government provide them with contraceptives.
		For example, Tibetan poor rural households are exempted from the duty to sell grain to the state; they receive subsidies regularly for purchasing chemical fertilizer, pesticide, plastic films for agricultural use and so forth; and the expenses for development projects in Tibet's poverty-stricken areas are supported by government budget.
		The government encourages and supports Tibetan enterprises and joint ventures which choose to set up sole proprietorships or joint operations in neighboring counties to produce goods for sale exclusively outside China using raw materials, semi-manufactured goods or technical facilities from within or without the region.

		The site is dominated by three drainages, Rize and Zechawa streams which flow from south to north, meeting at the centre of the site to form the Shuzheng which drops 1,000m to the north end of the reserve.
		This resettlement of the Tibetan villagers out of the reserve was controversial because they with their ancient culture were considered one of the attractions of the site.
		The management plan includes provisions to deal with most of these problems but as visitor numbers grow, especially as road access from Chengdu is improved, and as the airport is within one hour's driving from the site, it will become increasingly important to set up a monitoring system for stricter control of pollution and building.
