What are the main plants grown in the Mu Wu Desert?

Mu Us Desert.

The main thing in governance is grass planting.

Grow caragana and salix, of which Salix is an important cash crop.

Inner Mongolia has entered the coldest season of the year and is located in the Mu Us Sandy Land.

Inside and outside the biomass thermal power plant in Wushenzhao Town, Wushenqi (County), there is still a busy scene: water vapor coming from several cooling towers.

Soaring into the sky, trucks full of salix are constantly coming in and out of the unloading ......

A ton of dried salix sells for 400 yuan, and I pull 8 tons in this car, and more than 3,000 yuan will be in the account. "Nearby Wushenzhao Gacha (village) herdsman Tiemu.

Qi Letu said that since 2008, he has planted Salix on his 2,000 acres of grassland, mainly for the new local thermal power plant, "When he is busy, he has to hire 10 people to harvest and cut sections, and there is no problem with an annual income of about 100,000 yuan, which is much better than running transportation outside in previous years." ”

Salix salix is a "pioneer tree species" for windbreak and sand fixation in the Mu Us Sandy Land for many years, and is used for biomass power generation due to the characteristics of "high calorific value and stubble rejuvenation".

As the representative of the sand industry, it has unique advantages and potential. "Through sand land leasing, tree planting and sand control, fuel collection, processing and transportation, production and power generation, etc., the company has provided more than 8,000 employment opportunities for local farmers and herdsmen over the years. Luo Zhuowen, the person in charge of the thermal power plant, said.

Nowadays, sand shrubs, including Salix, can provide employment and sand fixation, but they were not promoted for economic purposes in the early years. "Trees are planted solely for the need to survive. He Ribu, a 73-year-old herdsman from Wushenzhao Gacha, said that a few decades ago, the situation was that "the sand forced people to retreat and had nowhere to hide", and even life became a problem.

The Heri Bu family has 2,000 acres of sand willow, poplar and other psammophyte tree species, while protecting the ecology, the leaves can also be used as forage for more than 300 sheep.

Taking Wuxianzhao Town in the hinterland of Mu Us as an example, the total scale of local ecological governance has reached 1.81 million mu, with a vegetation coverage rate of 70% and a forest coverage rate.

up to 30%. "This kind of ecological environment was unthinkable in the past. Wushenzhao Town Forestry Workstation Deputy Director Dalenbayar said.

In the second half of the last century, the ecological environment of Mu Us deteriorated seriously, large areas of grassland and farmland were swallowed up by quicksand, many villages and houses were buried, and roads, electricity, and communication lines were often blocked and interrupted.

The farmers and herders who live here find their way out of the harsh reality. From the initial planting of trees, grasses, and caragana, to the construction of small water conservancy, small watershed management, and the development of small economic forests, and then to the current development of the economic circle in the sandy area, the spirit of Yugong's pursuit of green like moving mountains has been inherited all the way to the present.

The main families of higher plants in the Mu Us Sandy Land are Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae, Artemisia, Astragalus, Allium, Salix, and Populus. The main species are Artemisia annua, S. bamboo, Ox heart Puzi, Salix, Black Willow and so on.

The main planting variety is the Saxon tree. Hope it helps.

Plants suitable for growing in the desert:Cactus: Suitable for growing cacti in SARS, cacti are more adaptable, resistant to barrenness, and do not require overly fertile soil.

Desert Rose: Desert roses are native to deserts and are also suitable for growing in sandy soils.

Crab claw orchid: Crab claw orchid is suitable for planting in sandy soil and has strong adaptability.

Tiger Piran: Tiger Piran does not have high soil requirements and is suitable for growing in sandy soil.

Others: aloe vera, keel flowers, cactus, pear trees, peach trees, grape vines, walnut trees, etc.

There are many kinds of desert plants, relatively common such as cactus, aloe vera, red willow, golden amber, poplar, etc., which can also be seen at home. In addition, they have a very good growth ability, are very resistant to heat and drought, and are very well maintained if they are to be farmed.

1. Cactus.

It is a relatively common plant with a good ability to tolerate drought and heat, as well as a strong ability to grow. It is mostly grown in the southern part of our country, and it is of many kinds, and it is also common in families.

2. Aloe vera. Aloe vera is actually a desert plant, and its origin is in the arid regions of Africa, where it is relatively common in many areas. It also has a good ability to adapt to growth, and is cultivated in Guangdong, Yunnan, Fujian and other places in China.

3. Red willow. It is suitable for growing in deserts, has good germination ability of roots, and is also very resistant to sand burial. Its life span is relatively long, and it also has a certain ability to withstand heat and drought.

Fourth, Jin Amber. The origin of this plant is in the relatively arid desert areas, and it is also cultivated in many parts of our country. Its sphere is round, which is suitable for domestic cultivation and can be placed indoors to decorate the environment.

5. Populus euphratica. It also has good growth, it is more suitable for more arid areas, and it is more common in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu and other places in China. In addition, it is also resistant to wind and sand and heat.

No matter what kind of plant you choose to plant, you can appropriately apply some water-soluble fertilizer to supplement nutrients.

Desert plants: Generally refers to plants that can survive in desert environmental conditions.

Desert plants are deep-rooted plants and usually have a well-developed root system. And the leaves degenerate into needle-like. The most important thing is that it is an extraordinary plant that is drought tolerant.

Cistanche, rhino horn, aloe vera, Tianlun column, sand holly, Cistanche tubular, green bell, golden amber, red skin sand jujube, raw stone flower, caragana intermediate, salt cistanche, cactus, white thorn, sand jujube, giant pillar, licorice, singles tree, flower stick, Hexi chrysanthemum, short spike willow, purple rod willow, sea buckthorn, spotted brocade variation, long spike willow, shallot, white hemp, desert rose, robust hemp, poplar, saxon, naked fruit tree, spotted rhino horn, camel thorn monster willow, Baqi Buddha belly tree, starfish flower, mallet tree, salt grass, red willow, Rhizome, sand reed, sand date, resurrection grass.

Native to arid or semi-arid regions, they often have the property of dormant during the dry season, and when the rainy season comes, they quickly absorb water and regrow and bloom showy flowers.

Their leaves mutate into slender thorns or white hairs, which can reduce the damage of strong sunlight to the plant, reduce water evaporation, and at the same time allow moisture to accumulate and condense into water droplets, which drip to the ground and be absorbed by the shallowly distributed root system; The stems become thick and thick, with ribs, so that their bodies can expand freely, and can expand rapidly when there is a lot of water in the body, and can shrink inward when there is a drought and lack of water, which not only protects the skin of the plant, but also has the effect of heat dissipation and temperature reduction.

The stomata open at night and close during the day to reduce water dispersion. The stalks mostly turn green and replace the leaves for photosynthesis and make food. Usually the root system is well developed and has a strong ability to absorb water.

It is these morphological, structural and physiological characteristics that give cactus plants an amazing ability to resist drought.

As follows:

1. Populus euphratica. > Populus euphratica is often planted in deserts, and is more common in Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu and other regions of China, used to prevent desertification of land, is an integral part of the desert oasis, and is a more tenacious plant with vitality.

Populus euphratica is very resistant to high temperatures, barrenness, strong resistance to wind and sand and heat, and has a long lifespan.

2. Red willow. > red willow is also a common desert plant, red willow is suitable for growing in the desert, the roots have good germination ability, and it is also very tolerant of sand burial. Red willow also has a relatively long lifespan and has a certain ability to tolerate drought and heat.

3. Sea buckthorn. > sea buckthorn is a tenacious natural wild plant, it generally grows in areas with more extreme climates, and it can often be found in dry, cold barren mountains and deserts.

Seabuckthorn has the effect of preventing soil erosion, can control the ecological environment, and can effectively prevent land desertification.

4, Chitose Orchid.

The millennia is the most drought-tolerant plant in the world, with only two leaves on its body. It can live for many years in places where it does not rain all year round, and the millennia also has a certain edible value, and is relatively nutritious, and is known as the desert onion.

5. Curly cypress. > curly cypress is more tenacious and can regrow even when it is completely dry, and it also has a certain drought tolerance, and the dying roots will stretch again after soaking in water for a while.

The desert can be grown with drought-tolerant plants such as camel thorns, saxons, cacti, poplars, etc.

Shuttle tree <> camel thorn.

A magical desert with more than 3,500 species of plants and wildflowers.
