The reports were very interesting and popular. After the reports, some master students discussed some questions with them for quite a minute.
Professor Shi-long Chen identified all the species they collected in the wild field and discussed with two experts about the long-time plan which could be carried out by two institutes together. They have signed an agreement on long-time cooperation and agreed on the exchange of young scientific workers and so on，which were a great foundation for the international cooperation between them.
Based on the experience in the wild field, two experts have a good knowledge of the vegetation and environment in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as well as our institute. This was the great first step of the cooperation.
