"The Forbidden Area in Life" is now full of vitality

In the summer season, the Ningxia Lingwu Baili Beach National Nature Reserve, which is located on the edge of Maowu Su Sand, grows densely in plants such as lemon strips, sand -turning jujube, and camphor pine. Ascending the distance, a "green promenade" about 60 kilometers north -south and about 40 kilometers wide extended to the depths of Mao Wulu Sand, extended to the distance with the skyline, like a "lifeline" that crossed the sea of ​​sand.

Completed 630,000 acres of desert governance, controlling nearly one million acres of quicksand, and building a green barrier at the southwest edge of the Maowu Sand Land, blocking the desert southward movement and westward expansion ... In the past 60 years, the three generations of sandwashing people have struggled to start a business on the Baimao Beach, and To curb sand planting green, let the sand beams turn the mountains and the desert is covered with green.

The "green fat and thin and thin" on the ecological territory depends on the persistent and tenacious spirit of sand control people, as well as the constantly updated departure afforestation technology and scientific attitude and method. Of course, there is also the wisdom and strength contributed by the ecological "main force" of Sha Sheng plants. After all, there is no "housekeeping skills" on the body, who dares to live in the desert!

Plants in the desert have strong vitality and unique survival wisdom. In order to live in Shahai, they often evolve "special skills". For example, in order to draw the moisture required for growth in the desert, the ability of sandy plants is usually excellent -crowns and roots can reach about 1: 7, and the main roots are deep. The side roots are wide, and water and nutrition are obtained to the maximum range. And their developed roots have also grasped the sand tightly, playing a good sand fixing role.

If you observe it carefully, you will find that the leaves of the sandy plants are generally narrow or even become a needle. This is the "personality" that they gradually evolve in order to reduce the water transpiration in the desert. For example, sand -ranging jujube, its leaves are like a slender needle, and twisted around each section, there is an inflection point between each section, which is also the origin of the name of the sand turning jujube. As a kind of sand -fixed afforestation pioneer tree species, the sand turning jujube grows rapidly and is often called "desert pioneer". Its fruits are red or yellow fluffy balls, which are often mistaken for flowers, so everyone is accustomed to call them red flowers and dates or yellow flowers.

The leaves of the sand -turning jujube are like a slender needle, and the sections are twisted around, and there is an inflection point between each section.

The fruits of the sand -ruming jujube are often mistaken for flowers, and they look like bright pill balls in the distance.

Most of the plants of sand plant plants are gray -green, but they often bloom colorful flowers to attract more species to spread pollination. For example, the flower stick called the "desert girl" has two flowers every year. When blooming, the pink purple flowers are densely packed with branches, which is very beautiful. The flower stick also has a very unique survival skill -molting, just like people peeling after being sunburned, the flower stick also continuously molt to cope with the strong sunshine and ultraviolet burns in the desert.

Another "excellent player" of the sand control can not only prevent sand and sand, but also the lemon branches after the stubble are processed, and they can also be used as feed and biofuels. The people in the sandy area described it in this way: "The lemon strip is a treasure, both forest and grass, windproof sand and cultivation land, pacifier and firewood to make fertilizers, or livestock."

The yellow flowers blooming in the lemon bar forest are bright in color and become a beautiful scenery in the desert.

Select the plants that are most suitable for the survival of the desert, and choose a plant with similar "personality" ... manually promote natural repair. The desert has been changed from yellow to green. Today, in the National Nature Reserve of Baili Beach, it has the largest 240,000 acres of natural lemon forests and the largest 300,000 acres of cat head thorns in the northwest. There are 129 animals such as 漠, red crickets, and desert cats, and the number of some biological species is still increasing.

The "green fat yellow and thin" desert also reflects another kind of vitality -the "sand and sea rush" industry is prosperous. Divide the sand and get rich. In the Baimao Beach, the use of fruit forests, desert fruits and vegetables, seedling cultivation, ecological breeding, and ecological tourism that develops through the special resources of the sandy area, so that the "money bags" of employees in sand areas gradually bulge, and the per capita annual income exceeds 100,000 Yuan.

In the facility greenhouse, the bean horn is growing up, and the workers are busy picking and listed.

Using the unique soil and climate conditions of sand, the fruits planted are sweet and delicious.

The leek planted in the sand is not only spicy and crispy, but also not easy to rot, which is convenient for storage and long -distance transportation.
