Description of the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a general design layout of a method of recovering vegetation from sandy land in accordance with the present invention.
Detailed Description
The present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the following examples are only for clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention, and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the invention provides a method for recovering vegetation on desertified land, which comprises the following steps:
the method comprises the following steps: regular round pits 1 with the diameter of 30cm and the depth of 20cm are dug on desertified land to be treated, the center distance between two round pits 1 in the same row is 90cm, the distance between rows is also 90cm, and each 4 round pits 1 are regarded as a planting unit (a square area with the length of 90 cm-90 cm). When the rain falls, the rain water scours the ground and stays in the dense round pits 1, and because of the shape of the round pits 1, the water is firmly locked and cannot be easily lost.
Step two: and filling sand soil with a mixed matrix thickness of 10-12 cm, which comprises sand soil, sawdust, organic fertilizer, a small amount of trace element fertilizer, a soil water-retaining agent and a soil adhesive, into the round pit 1. The sandy soil is prepared from local sandy soil, the organic fertilizer is cattle and sheep manure and the like, and the microelement fertilizer is prepared from manganese sulfate, sodium molybdate dihydrate and boric acid according to the proportion of 3: 1: 1, and the soil water-retaining agent and the soil adhesive are purchased from the market.
Step three: an open plant seed protection bag is manufactured, the material is degradable non-woven fabric material (the air permeability is good, plant roots can penetrate through the bag body to grow freely), the bag is degraded in about 6-12 months, the thickness of the bag body is 0.5-1 mm, and the size is 10cm in diameter and 10cm in height. The plant seed protection bag is internally provided with two layers of structures, the lower layer is a water-retaining matrix layer with the thickness of 8-9cm and contains sandy soil, plant ash, bentonite, vermiculite and rooting powder, the drought shrub plant seeds are uniformly spread on the surface of the water-retaining matrix layer, the upper layer is a surface covering layer with the thickness of 1cm and contains sandy soil and straw fibers, and the surface covering layer can play a role in shading, preserving heat and retaining water. The sandy soil in the plant seed protective bag is obtained by taking local sandy soil. The above dryland shrub seeds are selected from two or more of Tylophora ovata, Halloysitum rubrum, Caryopteris mongolicus, Caragana alba, Lepidium meyenii, and Caragana deserticola.
Step four: most of the seed protection bags are buried in the mixed matrix sandy soil of the round pits, and then a layer of local sandy soil is paved on the surface of the round pits and is flush with the upper end surfaces of the plant seed protection bags. The plant seed protection bag is embedded into the plant seed protection bag to a depth of 2/3-4/5 per se.
Step five: every 4 planting units form 1 square grid, a sand bag retaining wall is built outside the square grid, the sand bags are 30cm long, 15cm wide and 15cm high and are transversely stacked according to a 2-layer staggered mode, and finally the sand bag retaining wall 30cm wide and 30cm high is formed. The sand bag is filled with local sand. The sandbag retaining wall is relatively high in economy, can effectively block sand blown by the wind, and prevents water and nutrients in the square from losing.
Step six: and (3) forming a cross groove 3 in the square grid, wherein the width and the depth of the groove are 20cm and 20cm, and the mixed matrix sandy soil with the thickness of 10-12 cm is filled in the groove. Uniformly spreading two or more of dryland herbaceous plant seeds such as sand bamboo, sand rice, shallot, green bristlegrass, puncturevine, peganum harmala, common seepweed herb, splendid achnatherum herb, sophora alopecuroides and the like in the groove, and finally spreading a layer of local sandy soil with the thickness of 2-3 cm on the surface of the groove. The grooves can collect precipitation, so that water is not easy to evaporate. Above-mentioned herbaceous plant can make the vegetation be the diversity and resume, finally makes the vegetation resume more stably.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and it should be noted that: it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and adaptations can be made without departing from the principles of the invention and these are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
