China News Service, Shijiazhuang, March 9 (Zhao Danmei and Wang Tiejun) According to the Hebei Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau on the 9th, by 2025, Hebei will complete the afforestation of more than 5 million mu of shrubland.
On March 7, the Hebei Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau issued the "Guiding Opinions on Scientifically Developing Shrub Land Afforestation and Greening" (referred to as the "Opinions"), proposing that the province scientifically carry out afforestation and greening of shrub land, expand afforestation and green space, optimize tree species structure, improve forest quality.
By 2025, Hebei will complete more than 5 million mu of shrub forest afforestation.
According to reports, shrub forests are an important part of forest resources and play an important role in windbreak and sand fixation, water conservation, and income enhancement.
Hebei has more than 21 million mu of shrub forest land, accounting for 18.5% of the whole province's forest land area, mainly distributed in important ecological function areas and fragile ecological environment areas such as Yanshan and Taihang Mountains and Bashang area.
The "Opinions" clarified that the following four methods are mainly adopted to carry out afforestation and greening of shrub land.
Scientifically carry out artificial afforestation.
In areas with relatively convenient transportation, important window areas, and densely populated areas, follow the direction of natural succession, select suitable afforestation plots, carry out high-quality artificial afforestation, and accelerate the formation of a forest ecosystem with a combination of trees and shrubs, abundant tree species, stable structure and diverse functions .
Effective implementation of aerial seeding enclosures.
In areas with difficult afforestation difficulties, such as deep mountains and distant mountains and the source of rivers, arbor species, economic shrub species, and excellent suitable grass species are introduced by means of aerial seeding or artificial live broadcasting and sowing, and the closure, management and protection are strengthened, and water conservation and soil and water conservation are continuously enhanced. maintain ability.
Targeted promotion of cultivation and transformation.
Taking advantage of the abundant shrub forest resources in Taihang Mountains and Yanshan Mountains, on the basis of ensuring the ecological protection function, through measures such as tending and planting, grafting improvement, etc., directional cultivation of characteristic economic forests, landscape forests, and energy forests can improve the ecological, economic and social benefits of forests .
Timely carry out stubble rejuvenation.
For the degraded special shrub forests with senescent plants and slow growth in semi-arid areas such as Zhangjiakou and Chengde, scientifically rejuvenate them.
For shrub forests with sparse density, low coverage and poor benefits, replant and replant suitable shrub species in time to improve the ecological stability of the shrub forest.
In addition, the "Opinions" require that the forest and grass authorities in all regions of Hebei scientifically carry out afforestation and greening of shrub forests, scientifically formulate operation designs, strictly control the key links of afforestation, strengthen post-planting tending, management and protection, and consolidate the results of afforestation.
