Abstract： Pseudolarix amabilis is one of the most internationally influential ancient relict plants in China, and it faces a multitude of threats, including habitat fragmentation, population isolation, and declining numbers. Fortunately, the Village Fengshui forests, sacred forests protected by Fengshui culture, has emerged as a potential refuge for the natural population of P. amabilis.Nonetheless, the underlying mechanisms by which the Village Fengshui forests safeguards the natural population of P. amabilis warrant in-depth exploration. To address this research gap, this study employed rigorous field investigations and community interviews to comprehensively assess the recruitment status, conservation behaviors, and extent of disturbances for the natural population of P. amabilis. Moreover, we selected the P. amabilis population in Linjiatang as a representative case study to elucidate the protective and management paradigm of P. amabilis Village Fengshui forests. The results were as follows：(1) The diameter at breast height (DBH) structure of P. amabilis in the Village Fengshui forests exhibited continuity, and the seedling density was higher compared to other habitat types. (2) The Village Fengshui forests effectiveness in protecting the natural population of P. amabilis can be attributed to the Fengshui and taboo culture associated with Shuikou forest (Village Fengshui forests near water sources), cemetery forest, and Yangji tree (heritage tree near residential houses). (3) The development of rural tourism has further contributed to the preservation of P. amabilis Village Fengshui forests. In conclusion, the protection and management approach based on Fengshui and taboo cultures in Village Fengshui forests presents an effective paradigm for safeguarding the natural population of P.amabilis.
