Chinese Forest Biodiversity Monitoring Network (CForBio) was established in 2004. It is a research base for the dynamics of biodiversity of forest ecosystems in China and is an important part of the global forest biodiversity monitoring network (CTFS/Forest GEO). It covers major forest vegetation types in different climatic zones in China, including boreal forest, coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest, deciduous broadleaved forest, deciduous and evergreen broadleaved forest, evergreen broadleaved forest and tropical rainforest. By the end of 2020, 24 permanent forest dynamics  plots and about 60 associated plots with the size 1 ha or larger have been set up for CForBio. The total plot area is 695.6 ha. 2,823,200 individuals belonging to 1893 species (DBH≥1 cm) are recorded. There were 57 scientific articles published in 2020, including 42 papers in SCI-journals. Since June 2020, CForBio begins to organize CForBio Forum to introduce advances in biodiversity monitoring research at home and abroad.
