The geographical conditions within China also vary greatly and further contribute to the considerable environmental diversity. In terms of elevation, plants grow in areas ranging from the highest land in the world, i.e. Qinghai-Tibet plateau, to 150 meters below the sea level, which is evidence of the rich diversity.
