Abstract:Constructing ancient tree parks is an essential ancient tree protection measure, which plays a vital role in balancing the contradiction between ancient tree protection and people’s interests. This paper systematically investigates the current situation of ancient tree parks in China through Python web crawler technology. The current situation of ancient tree parks in China, including geographic distribution, construction requirements, and existing problems, are analyzed. The number of ancient tree parks in China has increased significantly in the past five years. The ancient tree parks are mainly constructed in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong, Sichuan, and other areas with rich ancient tree resources and long history, with a high degree of spatial aggregation and overall uneven distribution, most of which are in townships. The species of ancient trees in the ancient tree parks align with the pattern of species distribution in China. The ancient tree species in the northern region are relatively rare, mainly including Sophora japonica, Ginkgo biloba, Platycladus orientalis, etc. In contrast, the ancient tree species in the southern region are relatively abundant, and Cinnamomum camphora, Ginkgo biloba, and Ficus microcarpa are particularly prominent. Presently, domestic ancient tree parks also have relevant laws and regulations that could be better; there needs to be more professional design concepts and planning, developing a single central body, and other problems. This paper will address the existing issues of ancient tree parks to put forward countermeasures, and it looks forward to the future direction of research and development trends.
