The Chinese flora occupies a unique position in global plant diversity, but is severely threatened. Although biodiversity conservation in China has made significant progress over the past decades, many wild plant species have extremely small population sizes and therefore are in extreme danger of extinction. The concept of plant species with extremely small populations (PSESPs), recently adopted and widely accepted in China, lacks a detailed description of the methodology appropriate for conserving PSESPs. Strategies for seed sampling, reintroduction, protecting PSESP locations, managing interactions with the local human population, and other conservation aspects can substantially differ from those commonly applied to non-PSESPs. The present review is an attempt to provide a detailed conservation methodology with realistic and easy-to-follow guidelines for PSESPs in China.
中国植物区系在全球植物多样性中占据独特地位，但受到严重威胁。尽管中国在过去几十年的生物多样性保护方面取得了重大进展，但许多野生植物物种的种群规模极小，因此面临着极高的灭绝风险。中国最近采用并广泛接受的极小种群野生植物（PSESPs）概念，缺乏对适合保护极小种群野生植物的方法的详细描述。种子采样、重新引入、保护极小种群野生植物生长地点、管理与当地人口的互动以及其他保护方面的策略，可能与通常应用于非极小种群野生植物的策略有很大不同。本综述旨在为中国的极小种群野生植物提供一种详细的保护方法，并给出切实可行且易于遵循的指导方针。
