Technological flow The main points of the technology Time (season or month) 1. Technical measures: cutting and rejuvenation; introduction of appropriate coniferous and broad-leaved tree species. cutting and rejuvenation: strength of cutting, stubble height. Species introduction: Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica Litv., Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc., Pinus banksiana Lamb, etc. Spring, rainy season 2. Land preparation: hole-shaped land preparation. Planting while digging. Rainy season 3. Density, configuration, planting pit specifications: afforestation density: trees 2m × 4m afforestation configuration: patchy clumps. Planting pit specifications: tree container seedlings, 30m × 30cm × 40cm. Afforestation: Patchy clump afforestation.
Cutting and rejuvenation: Keep the cutting surface smooth, prevent splitting, do not leave dead stubble. Do not cut only large and thick branches, leaving thin and small branches, otherwise, it will affect the sprouting and drawing the following year.Silviculture: rainy season flat crop: spring, winter. 4. Seedling requirements: container seedlings 30-50cm Grade II or higher grade seedlings, free from disease and insect damage, with full top buds of conifers. Rainy season 5. Planting: Planting while digging. Remove plastic containers from container seedlings for planting and trample them down. Rainy season 6. Nurturing management: grazing ban, replanting The project area is fenced; grazing is prohibited for 3 years. 7. Others 表 6
