“…As an evergreen broadleaf shrub or small tree, C. oleifera is widely distributed in the subtropical mountainous areas of the Yangtze River basin and South China [5]. The Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangxi provinces are the main habitat areas, accounting for 76% of the total area of production in the country [6]. With the rapid development of the C. oleifera industry, large areas of red soil hilly region of southern China have been planted with C. oleifera in recent years.…”
