Guizhou Plateau broadleaf and mixed forests
[edit]- ... that Guizhou Plateau forests are prone to drought stress despite high rainfall in the region?
- Source: "Although the plateau receives ample precipitation and high cloud cover, areas of karst are still prone to drought stress because karst limestone has a poor water-holding capacity. Water that might be stored in granitic soils quickly filters through the porous limestone and becomes unavailable to plants."[1]

- The article could do with more sources. Compared to the source, the article seems positive; only one sentence mentions environmental problems. HLHJ (talk) 04:08, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
- @HLHJ:Added another ref and some more content about environmental degradation. Because ecoregions are defined by the WWF, the article's content does rely heavily on the WWF source. Hopefully this helps! --NoGhost (talk) 21:17, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:47, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
The article is new enough, long enough, with sufficient references and no apparent close paraphrasing. The hook is interesting and supported by an inline citation. QPQ has been done. Just a question, NoGhost: is there any reason for naming the article at the current title rather than the simpler Guizhou Plateau? 97198 (talk) 12:32, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks 97198, the full name of the ecoregion is defined by the WWF. "Guizhou Plateau" on its own doesn't really mean anything, since it's just one half of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. --NoGhost (talk) 21:32, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
