Some authors record the highest trees and forests around 4700 meters above sea level in Sichuan 
(China) and eastern Tibet. Any confirmation and datas (species composition, forest structure) 
or other records.

Thanks for any information

See Wang, Chi-Wu's excellent The Forests of China, published by Harvard
University, Maria Moors Cabot Foundation Publication Nr. 5, 1961, LCCN
61-11934, and you could make inquiries at the RBG Edinburgh, or the
Gothenburgh Botanic Gardens, both of which have made expeditions to
Sichuan and Yunnan recently. Last I heard, logging is ruining most of
China's upland forests,...

Cheers!
