30,000 mu of wild azaleas found in the north of the forest region

More than 30,000 mu of wild rhododendron flowers were found in the north of Hulunbeir City forest area. The area is large and the quantity is rare.

According to preliminary survey, this concentrated wild rhododendron flower sea is distributed in the ecological function area of Genhe Forestry Bureau and Jinhe Forestry Bureau, mostly growing on hillsides and mountain tops, covering an area of about 31500 mu, limited by terrain, excluding the area where people fail to reach the measurement.

"The emergence of large azaleas and the reproduction of broadleaf species are important links in ecosystem restoration, proving that ecosystem restoration has entered the initial stage." Zhang Zhongling, senior forestry engineer of the Forest Survey and Planning Institute, who has been engaged in wild plant resources investigation and research for a long time, said that in fact, azalea existed as early as in the original ecosystem. After the forest fire, the soil became loose, resulting in a large amount of plant ash containing nutrients and rare elements, which increased soil fertility. Sufficient light also provided favorable natural environment and space for the rapid growth of shrubs, thus promoting the formation of concentrated wild azalea flowers.

Inner Mongolia Daxing 'anling Forest Region is one of the five key state-owned forest regions in China. The forestry ecological functional area is 106,700 square kilometers. The natural forest area and forest stock account for the first place in the country's state-owned forest regions. The annual net growth of forests can bear one tenth of the government's international commitment to climate change. It has complete three natural ecosystems of forests, grasslands and wetlands, maintaining the ecological security of Hulun Buir Prairie and the main grain producing areas in Northeast China. It is an important ecological security barrier in the north of the motherland.
