[Ecological evaluation of suitable area for production of Phellodendron amurense based on TCMGIS- I].
The TCMGIS- I (Suitability evaluation geographic information system of traditional Chinese medicine producing area ) was developed and used to analyze the appropriate producing area of Phellodendron amurense in China. Taoshan county of Heilongjiang province, one of the main producing areas of the geo-authentic crude drug, was selected as the analytical basal place. The results show that besides traditional producing area in Taoshan county of Heilongjiang province, 131 counties of the provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Innermongolia are also alternative areas according to the eco-soil condition that the medicinal plants needed, and the sum area are 567 989. 3 m2, the results also indicate some condign regions in Innermongolia municipality. The system is much valuable to the division of adaptive area, introduction and acclimatization of medicinal materials.
