Master returnee 18 planting trees in the desert. What did he do in sandstorm weather?

Master returnee Wu Xiangrong, from Alashan, Inner Mongolia, planted trees in the desert 18 years. He still insisted on doing his homework in the sandstorm weather. Because he said, first, the saplings should be watered as soon as possible. If they can't be watered as soon as possible, the pits will be completely buried, and they will have to be dug and watered again, which will also affect their survival. Second, it takes more than a month to plant trees in spring. The earlier you plant, the higher the survival rate, and you don't want to delay a day. Third, workers, after all, live in a desert environment. If they stop working, they will be delayed for one day, and they don't want to stop working easily.

One: Why did the returnees choose to plant trees in the desert? Wu is a native of Alashan and grew up in the desert. He said that in his impression, Alashan is always desolate, and spring with yellow sand all over the sky is his most annoying season. At first, he wanted to build a green barrier on the edge of the desert to stop sandstorms and prevent the desert from expanding. In addition, some Japanese volunteers came to China to plant trees. Wu feels that as a native of Alashan, he should do something, even if it is just to help them contact, translate and provide information. He wanted to finish this thing and then go back to study for a doctorate, but he didn't expect to stick to it until now and do it on such a large scale.

Second, the significance of planting trees Desert desertification is a natural (unnatural) phenomenon that large-scale soil productivity is reduced or lost due to drought and lack of rain, vegetation destruction, wind erosion, running water erosion, soil salinization and other factors. For example, years of severe drought in the Sahara region of West Africa have caused unprecedented disasters, and China is one of the countries with serious desertification in the world. If we don't realize the seriousness of desertification, we will also suffer some disasters in the near future. At present, the environment and climate in the northwest of China are getting worse and worse, and dusty weather appears from time to time in the capital Beijing. Any jokes? Ejina (a river connected with Alashan Right Banner) is windy, and Beijing sand falls? It can be seen that this dusty weather is fierce. Therefore, it is very necessary to plant trees in the desert!

Third, the changes brought by Wu's tree planting. The concept put forward by Wu is it? Desert lock edge? It is to plant some shrubs on the edge of the desert to stop the wind and sand. The seeds of these saplings not only block the wind and sand, but also fly to the desert, and then naturally grow many plants. In fact, it provides a seed bank for the desert. ? Desert lock edge? It will also form an area conducive to the formation of many bird habitats and ecological diversity. Wu Shuo, since 18, they have planted 865,438+million trees and afforested more than 90,000 mu. The area of desertified land is decreasing. Before 2003, there were about 18 sandstorms in Alashan every year, but now it has dropped below 10, and the ecological environment has been greatly improved. If each of us has a heart to protect the environment like Wu, then I believe that in the near future, our earth will become more and more beautiful.
