What is Tumbleweed? What kind of harm will it cause to the environment?

Tumbleweed is a plant similar to dandelion, its reproductive ability is relatively strong, and if it grows indefinitely, it will cause some damage to the soil.

Tumbleweed is a plant with strong reproductive ability, this grass will not die in any environment, but this grass carries pests, which will affect the environment and destroy the ecological balance.

Tumbleweed refers to plants that roll in the wind after withering. Tumbleweed and its dryness, in the hot weather accumulation is easy to cause disaster, rolling into the river will also block the river, and tumbleweed itself also carries insects, etc., harming the environment.

In fact, the arrival of tumbleweed is related to the invasion of alien organisms, many people talk about the invasion of alien organisms, think of crayfish, the arrival of crayfish makes many people have one more delicacy at night, and the Chinese people do not seem to be afraid of biological invasion, because almost all food can enter their stomachs.

The reason why tumbleweed has not flooded in our country is because our country has natural enemies of tumbleweeds, and the natural enemies of tumbleweeds will eat tumbleweeds in large quantities, so that tumbleweeds have not yet begun to develop and be bitten by insects.

Tumbleweed, most people call it the prairie "tramp". It is a common plant in the Gobi, and when drought comes, it will gather its roots from the soil and roll around in a clump with the wind. On both sides of the highway in the Gobi, they can often be seen rolling in the wind when the wind blows.

Nothing will let them die. Someday they will find the right environment for them to grow and sprout new branches, sprout new shoots, and produce rose-red to lilac flowers.

Invasive species

Tumbleweed may have been introduced to South Dakota in the United States in 1870 or 1874 when flaxseed was imported from Russia. This noxious weed occupies almost all areas of North America. However, it is quite rare in the southeastern part of the United States.

Tumbleweeds, cacti, rattlesnakes, these are the hallmarks of the Wild West. However, these rough, prickly things are blown around by the wind and are as annoying as weed missiles, so the USDA decided to commit "genocide" to these tumbleweeds.

The environment hinders the reproduction of tumbleweeds (with natural predators).

One of the reasons why tumbleweeds are rare in China is because of the geographical environment. The mountainous area of China is very large, and if the tumbleweed is in the mountainous area, it may be hindered by the mountain peaks and the change of wind direction, which makes it difficult to reproduce in large quantities, and the spread range of tumbleweed will become very limited. In many parts of the United States, the terrain is relatively flat and open, and as long as the mature tumbleweed is blown by a strong wind, it will drift around and sow seeds with the wind.

Another reason is that in some parts of China, because of the delicious taste, people will pick the young stems of tumbleweeds to eat, which restricts the growth of tumbleweeds. In addition, in some rural areas, people also collect some plants for firewood, including tumbleweeds, which become very difficult to reproduce. Sock stool.

In addition, the reason why tumbleweed can grow rampantly in the United States and other regions is because there are no natural predators in those areas, unlike Asia, tumbleweeds grow in Asia, and there are also natural enemies of tumbleweeds here, and some insects will eat it. Therefore, tumbleweed is difficult to reproduce in China, and it is rare.

Tumbleweed Hazards:

In addition, the reason why tumbleweed can grow rampantly in the United States and other regions is because those areas do not have good old enemies, and unlike Asia, tumbleweed grows in Asia, where there are also natural enemies of tumbleweeds, and some insects will eat it. Therefore, tumbleweed is difficult to reproduce in China, and it is rare.

Tumbleweeds are very destructive to ecosystems, absorbing a lot of water from their surroundings, eventually causing crops to die from lack of water. Swarms of tumbleweeds can cause traffic jams and clog sewers, and even some cities in the United States have been flooded with tumbleweeds before. It can be said that it is extremely harmful.

Tumbleweed is poisonous but edible. Choose fresh and unpolluted tumbleweed, blanch it with boiling water before eating, remove toxins before cooking. Tumbleweed contains more trace elements, which are suitable for human absorption and can improve human immunity.

Tumbleweed can not be eaten with tofu. Tofu contains calcium, which can help the body promote bone growth and alleviate osteoporosis. If tumbleweed and tofu are eaten together, too much oxalic acid will be absorbed, and calcium oxalate will be formed, which will affect the normal work of kidney organs and parts, which is not conducive to health.

Tumbleweeds curl up in a ball during drought, dry up and turn yellow, turning into a ball of hay. A large amount of hay is piled up on the road and rolls in the wind, which is easy to block traffic and affect people's travel. Especially in the dry autumn and winter season, hay is easy to catch fire, causing fires, damaging the environment and causing unnecessary trouble to people.

Tumbleweed is poisonous but edible. Pick fresh and pollution-free tumbleweeds, blanch them in a slice of water before eating, remove the toxins before cooking. Tumbleweed contains more trace elements, which are suitable for human absorption and can improve human immunity.

In the case of drought, the wind slippery macro tumble into a ball, dry and turn yellow, turning into a ball of hay. A large amount of hay accumulates and rolls with the wind on the road, which is easy to block traffic and affect people's travel. Especially in the dry autumn and winter, hay can easily catch fire, causing fire incidents, damaging the environment, and causing unnecessary trouble to people.

Tumbleweed is the most effective tool for seed dispersal. The tumbleweed's spherical outfit allows it to roll and bounce on all ground, leaving seeds along the way with each bounce and roll.

But tumbleweeds also have a weakness: they run wherever the wind blows. Some pests will hitchhike with tumbleweeds to new places and harm the local area.

Unless blocked by fences, ditches, cornfields, buildings, dry irrigation canals, or windbreaks, tumbleweeds can be carried all the way down by the wind. The result is a dry ball the size of a car! Because the tumbleweed has been dried by the sun before rolling, and the thing is prickly and takes up space, it is inefficient to haul it away by trucks and trailers.

Tumbleweed is a common plant in the grasslands and Gobi. In the late autumn season, the tumbleweed will dry up, and the stems close to the ground will become very fragile, and it will be easy to break when the wind blows, and the broken "round ball" will roll up with the wind on the grassland, thus forming the phenomenon of the wind shouting the tumbleweed. <

Wind Rolling Seepage Grass is a common auspicious plant in the grassland and Gobi. In late autumn, tumbleweeds will dry up, and the stems close to the ground will become very fragile, and when the wind blows, it will easily break, and the broken "balls" will roll up with the wind on the grassland, thus forming the phenomenon of tumbleweeds.
