The endangered causes of Taxus chinensis var. mairei in the Taihang Mountains are analyzed in three sides in connection with the situation that is resources increasing attenuation. The first is biological factors such as pollination barriers, deeply dormancy seed, cannot vegetative propagation under natural conditions, poor adaptability of seedling to environment and slow growth. The second is environmental factors such as very limited distribution environment and position in community. The third is interference of persons and other animals. According to these factors, we provide three measures to protect Taxus chinensis var. mairei in three sides that protect existing resources, breed subsequent resources and find new pathway of producing taxol.
