What achievements has my country made in afforestation?

A set of data to answer for you.

In mid-March, the range suitable for afforestation continued to expand northward, and the area covered more than half of the country

  In February of this year, there were many cold air activities in most parts of the country, and the temperature was lower than the same period of the normal year. The suitable planting range in the north was close to the normal range, while the suitable planting range for afforestation in the south was smaller than the normal range. Only central Yunnan, central Guangxi, and most of Guangdong , southern Fujian and other places have entered a suitable period for afforestation.

  In early March, the temperature in most parts of the country rose rapidly.

The heat conditions in the southern part of North China, most of Huanghuai and the Yangtze River Basin are generally favorable for afforestation, and the suitable time for afforestation is close to normal and slightly earlier.

In the first ten days of March, the suitable planting range of warm temperate tree species such as willow and poplar has reached from central Shaanxi to central Hebei.

  It is expected that in mid-March, southern Xinjiang, southeastern Gansu, Ningxia, central and northern Shaanxi, central and northern Shanxi, central and northern Hebei, and Liaoning will successively reach the heat conditions for planting warm temperate tree species; the temperature in most of the south will reach the temperature of subtropical tree species. thermal conditions.

  This Arbor Day, friends in areas suitable for afforestation can come together to participate in tree planting activities and work together to green our homes.
