Introduction to Arbor Day

"Arbor Day" is stipulated by law in some countries to promote forests. Benefit, and mobilize the masses to participate in festivals where afforestation is an activity. According to the length of time, it can be divided into tree planting day, tree planting week or tree planting month, collectively called Arbor Day. Through this kind of activity, we can stimulate people's love for forests and afforestation, improve people's understanding of the functions of forests, promote land greening, and achieve the goals of loving and protecting forests, expanding forest resources, and improving the ecological environment. It is a festival established to mobilize all people to plant trees.

The origin of Arbor Day

On March 12, 1925, Dr. Sun Yat-sen passed away in Peiping. In 1929, his coffin was moved to Zijin Mountain in Nanjing. In 1930, the Kuomintang government set March 12 for Arbor Day.

In 1956, Mao Zedong issued a call to "green the motherland" and "realize the gardening of the earth." China has launched a “12-year greening campaign” with the goal of “basically eliminating wasteland and barren mountains within 12 years, and planting green trees beside all homes, villages, roadsides, watersides, and barren lands and mountains, that is, wherever possible.” We must plant trees according to specifications and implement greening.”

In 1979, at the suggestion of Deng Xiaoping, the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People’s Congress decided that March 12th would be my country’s Arbor Day. .

On December 13, 1981, the Fourth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress discussed and adopted the "Resolution on Launching a National Compulsory Tree Planting Movement". This was the first decision by the country's highest authority to green the motherland since the founding of the People's Republic of China. a major decision. Since then, the national compulsory tree planting movement has been implemented as a law across the country.

The significance of Arbor Day

1. Forests can balance the earth’s carbon dioxide. Forests are the main consumers of carbon dioxide. Each hectare of forest producing 10 tons of dry matter will absorb 16 tons of carbon dioxide and release 12 tons of oxygen, making the forest a huge oxygen reservoir. Therefore, afforestation has become the main way to slow down the greenhouse effect.

2. Forests can prevent wind and fix sand. Forests can reduce the intensity of wind erosion by reducing wind speed and changing wind direction; the strong root systems of forest trees, especially shrubs, can fix soil particles. Practice has proven that by creating windbreak sand forests and cooperating with agricultural and water conservancy measures, good windbreak and sand fixation effects can be achieved.

3. Forests can preserve soil and water. Forests can regulate runoff and water volume in dry periods, maintain water and soil, reduce sediment content in rivers, and mitigate flood disasters. Observations show that a 1 cm thick leaf litter can reduce surface runoff to 1/4 of bare land and reduce sediment volume by 94%. The amount of soil loss caused by rainfall in bare land is more than 100 times that of forest land, but the soil-fixing ability of trees, shrubs, and grass is more than 1,000 times that of pure grass. Calculations show that my country's forests reduce soil erosion by 24.6 billion cubic meters and reduce soil organic matter loss by 384 million tons each year, and the value of soil protection reaches more than 260 billion yuan. In addition, forests also have a fundamental mitigating effect on preventing river bed rises, floods and droughts, etc.

4. Forests can conserve water sources. Forests are natural "green reservoirs" that can promote the normal circulation of water in the sky, surface water and groundwater. When it rains, more than 20% of the rainfall is intercepted by the tree crowns and branches and leaves, and 5-10% is intercepted and absorbed by fallen leaves and weeds on the ground. The aggregate structure of the soil in the forest can quickly convert surface water into groundwater. According to incomplete calculations, the annual water conservation capacity of my country's forests is 347.3 billion tons, equivalent to 75% of the current total reservoir capacity, and the annual water conservation value reaches more than 250 billion yuan.

5. Forests can protect biological diversity. Forests are the “home of species” and the largest repository of biological diversity and biological genetic resources. More than 50 species in the world inhabit various types of forests, mainly natural forests.

Quatrains

Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty

The peaches and plums planted by the hand are not ownerless, and the old wild wall is low but still like Home.

Just like the spring breeze blowing away each other, blowing and breaking a few flowers at night.

Mr. Shu Huyin’s wall

Song Dynasty Wang Anshi

The eaves are long and swept clean without moss, and the flowers and trees are planted by hand.

A river of water protects the fields and surrounds them with green, and two mountains with rows of gates bring in green.
