Why don’t you choose fruit trees for tree planting in the mountains?

"If you want to be rich, plant more trees", "Save trees to cover barren hills, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing", "Afforestation will last for a long time" and other rural propaganda slogans spread across the country, all reflect this There is a craze for planting trees in rural areas. The green area in rural areas is now close to 30%. Those are the people who plant trees in rural areas. What are the benefits of planting trees? Planting trees increases economic income.

There is almost no idle land in the countryside. As long as there is open space, trees will be planted, so the green area in the countryside is particularly high. This is because farmers are very pragmatic and are reluctant to waste every inch of land. The back and yard are full of poplars or fruit trees. They don’t need to be managed at ordinary times. In summer, you can enjoy the coolness under the shade of the trees. In autumn, the fruit trees are full of fruits. The fruits eaten in rural areas are all natural and pollution-free. After the trees become useful, Can be sold for money.

In rural areas, the annual income from farming is very small. Many young and middle-aged laborers in rural areas choose to go out to work, leaving only the elderly and young children to stick to the countryside. The elderly do not have the physical strength to farm. However, planting trees is more economical than growing crops. Planting trees does not require management. Fast-growing wood like poplar can be cut down in seven or eight years. Each cubic meter of poplar can be sold for 700. -100 yuan.

In mountainous rural areas, the soil in the mountains is poor, the harvests are low, and the labor force is large. Many villagers choose to plant fruit trees or other economic trees on the mountains to increase their income. Benefits of planting trees.

Planting trees can prevent wind and sand, and maintain water and soil, because the huge roots of trees can firmly grasp the soil and prevent water and soil erosion, and the protective forest can resist the attack of wind and sand and reduce wind speed. For example, after poplar shelterbelts were planted in the saline-alkali land of the Yellow River, there was less wind and sand, the soil became fertile, and there was more vegetation.

Trees can purify the air and beautify the environment; the photosynthesis and respiration of trees can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, creating a beautiful living environment for humans, so the air in rural areas is fresher and cleaner than in cities.

Trees can reduce noise and lower temperatures. A 40-meter-wide forest belt can reduce noise by 10-15 decibels. The photosynthesis of trees absorbs oxygen in the air, and the transpiration of leaves can lower the temperature and regulate air humidity. This is why rural areas have lower noise than cities, and in hot summer, The countryside is obviously much cooler than the city.

Finally, trees have high economic benefits, which is also the main reason why farmers plant trees. Fast-growing trees become timber quickly, which not only greens the environment, but also increases income, the best of both worlds; and planting fruit trees is more profitable than planting food crops. The income is high, so many people choose to plant fruit trees, or intercrop fruit trees with other crops to increase farmers' income.
