Who was the first person to plant trees in the desert?

The first person to plant trees in the desert was Zhang Xiwang. Since 2002, Zhang Xiwang has been planting trees in the desert for 15 years, and today, his team has planted more than 20,000 acres of trees in this desert.

Kubuqi Desert in September.

The heat is still hot. In the afternoon, a tall, swarthy man stood on the side of the road, waiting for a bus carrying journalists from all over the country to come from a distance. He once appeared in CCTV public service advertisements.

Zhang Xiwang, a villager of Dugui Tara Town, is an advanced typical figure in local desertification prevention and control.

The town of Dugui Tara is located on the edge of the Kubuqi Desert, which was once all desert. Now here the poplar forest.

As far as the eye can see, groups of trees are lined up in a straight line, and the green gives the illusion of being in the south.

Changes after afforestation in the desert.

Zhang Xiwang said that before 2010, sandstorms.

It takes three days and two days to scrape, and now it's three or five times a year; In the past, there was basically no rain in a year, but now it rains once a month from time to time; Trees have been planted, there are more birds, and there are foxes, "this is the harmonious development of man and nature," Zhang Xiwang happily concluded.

Being able to participate in improving the ecological environment, Zhang Xiwang feels that he is doing something very meaningful. As he said, everything must be done steadfastly, Zhang Xiwang after "popular" is not greedy, every year in the enterprise bidding, he is in accordance with his own ability to do the work, "a year a footprint in the heart of the heart."

There is no harm in planting trees in the desert, but there are some points to be aware of.

1. Desert tree planting needs to choose the right tree species, not all trees are suitable for planting in the desert, some tree species will dig deep into the ground in order to survive, and absorb the deep groundwater in the desert, so that the water content of the desert land will be further reduced, the groundwater level will drop, and more plants will die in the desert, resulting in a better desert environment that has been treated by the ruler, and more barren desert that has not been treated.

2. If the local water resources are overused during afforestation, it will lead to a greater shortage of local water resources, reduce the rainfall in the desert, and directly affect the ecological circulation system in the desert.

3. Select places with relatively good water resources conditions in the edge areas of the desert, make rational use of local water resources, and gradually play a role in conserving water sources. Choose plants such as poplar, cypress, knotweed, salix, date, sea buckthorn, cactus, etc., and then plant grass, which is conducive to the resistance of wind and sand; At the same time, the purpose of transporting water into the desert is to allow the trees in the desert to gradually stabilize, and then further produce more water, thus changing the environment of the desert.

Should. If the desert is not planted with trees, when the wind blows, a large amount of dust will blow into the surrounding villages or cities, affecting the air. Therefore, afforestation can prevent wind and sand.

I think that deserts should be planted with trees, although it is difficult, but it does help to improve the global environment and expand the living space of human beings, but it seems to be a little unfriendly to desert life.

Afforestation should be done. Some plants are suitable for growing in deserts. Afforestation in the desert can preserve vegetation and improve the natural environment.

I think it should. Trees can be planted because they protect the desert vegetation and prevent natural disasters.

Western China. There are abundant deserts and mountains. In the past, experts agreed that it was unsuitable for human habitation. in the Hexi Corridor.

To the west, there are some that cross the Gobi Desert.

A small oasis where there is little chance of plant growth.

However, things have changed a lot in the last two decades. With the development of mechanization, people are looking for ways to improve the situation. So they dug deep wells, exploited hitherto neglected groundwater resources, built reservoirs in the mountains, and canals carried water from the babbling river into the crops, which prevented the further development of the desert.

In the early stages of improving the environment in arid areas, China**.

Afforestation was vigorously planted, but initially the effect was weak. However, the survival rate of trees is very low, soil erosion is serious, and the rate of land desertification is not only not decreasing, but increasing, and it is an embarrassing situation encountered in the early stage of "Chinese-style desertification control". In addition, not all trees are adapted to desert environments.

In the desert, only a few trees with well-developed roots survive. What do trees with well-developed roots rely on to survive in the desert? The answer is deep water underground.

In the desert, there used to be some vegetation, but in order to plant trees, people replaced the original vegetation. The roots of these trees can drill deeper than the original plants. In this way, the amount of deep water will be much less, resulting in the water content of the land.

Decreased, the water table lowered. More plants will die in the desert, and desertification will be worse in desert areas that are not "controlled". The reduction of groundwater will lead to a decrease in the total amount of water in the ecological cycle, which in turn will lead to precipitation.

eventually forms a vicious circle of water reduction in desert areas.

Of course, the goal of afforestation in China is a virtuous cycle, transporting water into the desert to irrigate the growth of plants. But if we look at it from another angle, if the Chinese have enough water to change the entire desert, the medium of the tree in the middle is a bit redundant. When people don't inject enough water into the desert, once the trees are "thirsty", they start to absorb groundwater, returning to the previous vicious cycle.

No, desert vegetation is determined by climate, generally located in tropical desert climate or temperate continental climate, perennial precipitation is small, it is not suitable for tree planting, forced tree planting back leads to rapid depletion of groundwater, and may even lead to ground subsidence.

Afforestation should first protect the original trees, and protect them like rare animals by legislation, because of the drought of the desert, tree species often only grow leaves in the rainy season, and most of the time they are "dry".

Without changing the soil, it will not be able to retain water, and if it cannot retain water, the consumption of water supply will be too large and unsustainable.

Afforestation is the only way to do it after soil and water conservation. It was in vain before.

Should. After desert afforestation, the area of green space has increased, which is conducive to controlling wind and sand and protecting our nature.

It must be, because only in this way can the harsh environment of the desert be improved and the environment protected.

It should be because afforestation can turn deserts into oases and reduce desertification.

Deserts, or desert margins that are about to be desertified, are mainly found in arid and semi-arid areas, and their main natural characteristics are drought and lack of rainfall. Therefore, I do not think it is feasible to improve the local ecology by "planting trees in areas on the edge of the desert, especially those areas that were not once deserts".

In Minqin, the lower reaches of the Shiyang River, located at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor, are located in the hinterland of the two deserts, surrounded by sand on three sides in the east, west and north, and are a temperate arid desert climate zone. The average annual precipitation, the average annual evaporation is, and the annual precipitation is a multiple.

Forests are more ecologically efficient than grasslands, but trees also require higher water requirements to grow. Planting trees is good, but misuse can worsen local water scarcity. Blind cultivation under such natural conditions will only bring frost to the local ecological environment.

In my opinion, to solve this problem, we need to understand the cause of the problem. So what are the causes of desertification? As far as I know, the roots of desertification in most areas are natural.

That is, persistent drought, abnormal weather, windy times and surface material loss are the root causes of desertification.

Speaking of higher awareness of global warming in recent years, the trend of global warming, China's rising temperature is slightly lower than the global average, but in western China, especially in several areas, the intensity of warming is higher than the national average. Over the past 50 years, the average annual temperature in Gansu Province has been rising, while winter and spring temperatures have increased dramatically and precipitation has decreased. From this point of view, desertification in some areas is an inevitable consequence of ecological development.

Normalizing the rate of desertification, or how to slow it down, is not thinking about what measures to use to curb it, or even considering the beautiful ecological status of aquatic plants already in desert areas. For most people, this is a myth. There are many successful cases in China, such as the grassland grid barrier on the sandy slope of Ningxia.

Finally,Personally, I believe that specific problems should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, rather than using tree planting to control desertification.

On the endless Taklamakan Desert, smoke and dust are billowing out, and everywhere you can see is yellow sand, and the few green seedlings are also eroded. In such a harsh environment, there is a team of tree planters who have planted the seeds of life in the desert where no grass grows.

The group of tree planters lined up and counted seven people. Each of the seven men had the tools for planting trees—shovels, shovels, and kettles—and a dozen small green saplings—and strode toward the half-planted desert ahead. Along the way, instead of being depressed as if they were trying to complete the assigned task, they were greeted with bursts of laughter, as if celebrating the victory of the mission in advance.

When they arrived at their destination, they were still very leisurely, but we were already tired and out of breath. A male member of the tree-planting team calmly took out the saplings in his bag, and several other team members dug up the soil, and then skillfully put the small saplings into the pit gently, and carefully filled in the idle ones'In this way, they have been planting several saplings, each of which has a seedling of hope, and I can't help but have more admiration for this team of tree planters, and finally some of them have reached the realm of worship. Who can brave the difficulties of crossing the desert and the dangers lurking on the road, and who can contribute to the salvation of the desertification of the land without compensation?

This team of tree planters did it, and they really really did.

In the desert, the air was scorched by the sun, and the team that sowed hope braved the scorching sun, and gave everything in heart and body to the green trees of the Taklamakan Desert in the future. I know that they love this earth deeply. And those who do not do environmental protection, but go to make garbage, will definitely be scorned by people, this tree planting team, character, extremely noble.

In the desert, think about it, with our efforts and royalty, it will become more beautiful in the future.
