福鼎茶园生态系统：生物多样性与茶品质

Fuding core origin tea garden ecosystems are fundamental to white tea quality. Traditional garden ecology: (1) Tea-forest composite—gardens retain or plant shade trees (camphor, ginkgo), creating semi-shade favorable for amino acid synthesis; (2) Tea-grass symbiosis—garden floor grass (not herbicide-bare) maintains soil microbial diversity and water retention; (3) Tea-pest balance—natural predators (spiders, ladybugs) control pests, reducing pesticide needs. High-mountain gardens have richer biodiversity: Guanyang garden forests >80% coverage; Qianxi gardens commonly have wild orchids and azaleas as companion plants. Organic garden soil microbial diversity is 30-50% higher than conventional gardens, directly correlating with leaf compound richness. Ecological protection IS white tea quality protection.
