It locates on the beaches of Honghu Lake in Jianghan Plain and represents the character of the north subtropical agricultural and wetland ecological area in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The station is now directed by the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, CAS (IGG).The main aim of the station is to monitor the complex system of constructed wetlands and natural wetlands.
