Adhere to scientific afforestation and effectively protect the ecological environment

According to media reports, at the recent International Symposium on Ecology and Water Saving held in Yinchuan, Ningxia, experts believed that "Ecological restoration is an extremely complex system engineering, which especially needs to be combined with water-saving strategy." in practical work, it should be considered from the perspective of sustainable development of the ecosystem, such as the problems caused by the massive use of fast-growing poplar species in the construction of the three-north shelterbelt should arouse the industry's vigilance. "

Experts point out that although poplar, a fast-growing tree, can make the northwest green as soon as possible, poplar non-water-saving and cold-resistant plants are equivalent to water pumps, which is not conducive to ecological restoration in arid and semi-arid northwest regions in the long run. This also enlightens us that only by scientific afforestation and improving the quality of afforestation can we effectively protect the ecological environment and benefit mankind in the long run.

The quality of afforestation determines the success or failure of afforestation. To improve the quality of afforestation, the principle of adapting measures to local conditions is the basis. Adjusting measures to local conditions is to select the native tree species that are most suitable for afforestation purpose and natural conditions according to the geographical and climatic conditions of the afforestation land, and must not blindly pursue economic benefits in violation of the biological characteristics and the law of growth and development of afforestation tree species. In the selection of afforestation tree species, we should adhere to a scientific attitude, adjust measures to local conditions and adapt trees to the right place. for places with particularly bad conditions, we should first choose tree species with strong resistance, so as to ensure the survival of trees, improve the survival rate, and contribute to the protection of the ecological environment. For tree planting in timber forest, fast-growing and high-yield tree species can be selected, while tree species with both ecological and economic benefits should be selected in ecological forest construction, which will play a real role in ecological restoration, environmental protection, water conservation, wind prevention and sand fixation.

In recent years, the state finance has set aside tens of billions of yuan every year to build forestry projects. if we only pay attention to quantity or adopt short-sighted behavior to plant trees, but do not pay attention to quality and scientific afforestation methods suitable for the natural environment, it is not only a waste of national investment in forestry financial and material resources, but also a waste of people's hard work. How to use scientific methods to improve afforestation quality should be a key issue that should be paid great attention to in forestry production.
