Three generations of sand control people have turned the desert into an oasis in 39 years. How difficult is it to plant trees in the desert?

It's easy to plant trees, but it's particularly difficult to grow a job

First of all, it happened in Babusha Forest Farm in Gulang County, Gansu Province. At present, the representative figure of sand control in the forest farm is Guo Xi. In 1981, his grandfather Guo Chaoming mobilized six companions to come to Babusha, which started the cause of sand control. That is, from then on, three generations of their family turned the desert into an oasis in 39 years. At present, 75, mu of desert in Babusha has become an oasis, which seems quite simple, but the old people who listened to Babusha said that there was no tree alive one year, which shows that their road to sand control was not smooth sailing.

how difficult is it to plant trees in the desert?

First of all, any living thing needs water resources to survive, but what is most lacking in the desert is water resources, and the sand in the desert is very loose because there is no water. In this way, plants can't get water from the sand, so the chances of survival are very low. In many cases, in order to keep the tree alive, it will be continuously supplied with water and various nutrients will be piled up in the later stage. In the end, the cost of 7788 will be calculated, and the cost of a tree may reach several hundred or even higher. And in many cases, even if you have money, you may not be able to make saplings survive. The oil countries in the Middle East are examples. People are not short of money at all, but there are large areas of deserts. Another point is that it depends on the type of desert. If it is a desert with extremely bad environment, it is estimated that no matter how much effort you make, it will be of no help. Especially in the Sahara desert, there are some extreme weather, and the annual precipitation is only 76 mm, which is far from enough for plant growth. For example, the Mu Us desert in our country is relatively easy to control. At present, 8% of the Mu Us desert has been controlled, and this desert will soon disappear. The reason why this desert can be successfully controlled is that the precipitation has reached 25 for many years. About 4 mm.

why do you want to control sand?

The desert has a great impact on the environment, and if we don't go to desert control, it may continue to expand, and eventually it will invade the area where we live. A few years ago, some cities had sandstorms, and the reason was that they were too close to the desert. The wind in the desert is very strong. Whenever the wind blows, it will roll sand into the sky, and the sand will blow into the city or forest area, which will have a bad influence on plants and human beings. I think this should be the direct reason for my human sand control!

In addition, the soil erosion in the Gobi desert is very serious, and planting trees can fix sand and improve our living environment, and the sand in the Yellow River is a very typical example. If the desert is allowed to continue to expand, it will eventually lead to unbearable consequences, so sand control is a very good decision.

However, the cause of sand control has a long way to go, and it can never be completed overnight. It is even more rare for Guo Xi's family to persist for 39 years, so we should support and respect this group of people, because what they are doing is very meaningful and many people can't do it.
