[0002] The salt desert area, also known as the salt marsh and desert, is a dry desert area covered with a large amount of salt minerals on the ground surface, which belongs to a type of desert.
[0003] Vegetation establishment is a technical system for establishing a plant cover layer in a specific area through scientific methods, aiming to improve the ecological environment and achieve greening goals. Through vegetation establishment, soil erosion is prevented, seed loss is reduced, and plant community formation is promoted, thereby stabilizing the ground surface and improving ecological functions.
[0004] The existing rapid establishment method of pioneer vegetation in high-salt desert area usually adopts the method of directly sowing salt-tolerant plant seeds or transplanting salt-tolerant seedlings. However, these methods have significant limitations in high-salt environments: first, the seed germination rate and seedling survival rate are generally low, and are severely affected by osmotic stress and ion toxicity caused by high salt concentration, with a long growth cycle; second, a large amount of irrigation is required for salt leaching to reduce root zone salt, resulting in huge water resource consumption and unstable effects, and the salt is easily raised again with evaporation after stopping irrigation; third, there is a lack of effective regulation of micro-regional salt differences, making it difficult to form a local low-salt environment conducive to the establishment and growth of pioneer plants, resulting in slow vegetation establishment, low coverage, and uneven distribution. Therefore, we propose a rapid establishment method of pioneer vegetation in high-salt desert area based on salt gradient regulation. SUMMARY

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0031] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the system module of the present application;
[0032] Figure 2 is a flow chart of the method of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 The present application provides a rapid planting method for pioneer vegetation in high-salt desert areas based on salt gradient regulation, comprising the following steps:
[0035] S1, terrain preprocessing: excavate a parallel trench system with a depth of 20-30 cm in the target planting area. The parallel trench system can effectively intercept wind sand and collect precipitation, forming a local micro-depression, thereby reducing the accumulation of surface salt and optimizing water distribution. The trench direction is perpendicular to the dominant wind direction, which can enhance the efficiency of sand interception, effectively reduce the surface wind speed and reduce the risk of soil erosion, while optimizing the effect of precipitation collection and forming a stable water microenvironment. The trench spacing is set to 1.2-1.5 times the diameter of the adult canopy of the local target pioneer vegetation, thereby optimizing the spatial distribution of vegetation, reducing inter-individual competition, and ensuring the full expansion of the adult vegetation canopy. A 5-10 cm thick gravel layer is laid at the bottom of the trench to enhance drainage performance and prevent salt backflow.
[0036] S2, construct a salt gradient: lay a 5 cm thick biochar isolation layer at the bottom of the trench. The thick biochar isolation layer can effectively adsorb and fix salt ions, reducing the risk of upward migration of soil salt, thereby forming a low-salt environment at the bottom of the trench. A 15 cm thick mixed substrate layer is overlaid on it to form a salt buffer zone, which can absorb and buffer the salt fluctuations in the upper soil, adsorb excess salt ions when water infiltrates, and slow down the rate of salt downward migration, thereby maintaining the stability of the low-salt environment at the bottom of the trench. At the same time, the mixed substrate layer provides initial nutrients and water buffer for the vegetation roots, effectively isolates high-salt stress, and promotes the rapid establishment and healthy growth of pioneer vegetation.
[0037] S3, water regulation system: micro-porous seepage irrigation pipes are buried along the trench direction, with the pipe body 10 cm from the ground, connected to the rainwater collection cellar system for rainwater storage and replenishment during the rainy season. The micro-porous seepage irrigation pipe can slowly release water to the deep soil, directly supply the vegetation roots, reduce surface evaporation loss, thereby maintain a stable soil moisture environment, optimize water use efficiency, and prevent salt accumulation on the surface with water evaporation; At the same time, this system supports precise irrigation regulation, dynamically adjusts the water supply according to seasonal changes and vegetation water demand characteristics, ensures uniform water distribution, avoids local drought or waterlogging, and further enhances the stress resistance and rapid establishment ability of pioneer vegetation.
[0038] S4, configure pioneer vegetation: after selecting mixed seeds, seed coating technology is used to wrap seed germination promoting agents. This setting can form a physical protective layer on the seed surface, effectively isolating the direct stress of high-salt soil on the seed. At the same time, the precisely controlled bacterial agent (such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or salt-tolerant growth-promoting bacteria) is gradually released during the seed germination process, significantly enhancing the germination vigor and early root development of seeds in salt stress environment through the secretion of plant hormones, dissolution of insoluble nutrients, and formation of symbiotic bodies, etc.
[0039] S5, Gradient seeding operation: Implement strip seeding at the junction of the trench side slope, with a seeding depth of 1.5-2 cm and a seeding amount of 0.8-1.2 g per meter, so as to accurately control the seeding density per unit area; cover a 2 cm thick layer of straw debris after seeding, which can effectively reduce surface water evaporation, maintain a stable soil humidity environment, prevent salt accumulation on the surface by capillary action, and inhibit weed growth and buffer temperature fluctuations, thereby providing an optimized microenvironment for seed germination and significantly improving the success rate of pioneer vegetation planting and early growth.
[0040] S6, Habitat maintenance management: Supply 3-5 mm of fresh water per week through the micro-irrigation system during the seedling stage, and monitor the root zone salt content every month during the seedling stage. When the EC value is >8 dS / m, start the micro-zone leaching program. Apply fresh water to the root zone through the micro-zone leaching program to leach and remove excess salt ions, thereby controlling the EC value to be below 5 dS / m, maintaining a stable low-salt environment, and avoiding salt accumulation to inhibit seedling growth.
[0041] S7, Vegetation succession regulation: After the coverage of annual vegetation reaches 40%, point planting of mesochemical herbaceous species on the inter-trench slope is carried out to gradually build a three-dimensional community structure of trees, shrubs, and grasses. This can effectively intercept precipitation, reduce surface runoff, improve soil fertility, and enhance biodiversity, providing a sheltered habitat for subsequent mesochemical species, thereby promoting the succession of the ecosystem to a stable state, reducing the risk of water and soil erosion, and optimizing the microclimate environment, ultimately achieving sustainable vegetation restoration and ecological balance in high-salt desert areas.
[0042] The above method steps can effectively regulate the salt gradient distribution in high-salt desert areas, reduce root zone salt stress, improve seed germination rate and seedling survival rate of pioneer vegetation, effectively inhibit surface salt accumulation, and optimize water distribution, thereby promoting rapid planting and healthy growth of vegetation. At the same time, by building a stable salt gradient and water regulation system, optimizing water use efficiency through the micro-irrigation system and mixed substrate layer, reducing fresh water consumption, improving vegetation coverage, reducing the risk of soil erosion, enhancing the resistance of the ecosystem, and rapidly improving vegetation coverage in the short term, the ecosystem is promoted to a multi-level, stable tree-shrub-grass community structure, improving soil fertility and microclimate environment, enhancing the stability and wind erosion resistance of the ecosystem, and providing reliable technical support for sustainable ecological restoration.
[0043] In this embodiment, preferably, the trench system is provided with a grass lattice sand barrier on the side, with a grid size of 1m x 1m, made of local reed straw to enhance wind erosion resistance. This can improve the overall service life of the trench system and has better economic benefits.
[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, the mixed substrate layer is composed of 50% to 65% aeolian sand, 20% to 30% humus soil, 10% to 15% vermiculite particles and 5% to 8% zeolite powder, uniformly mixed in volume ratio. Among them, aeolian sand is used to provide good structural support and water permeability, reduce soil compaction; humus soil is rich in organic matter and nutrients, used to promote root development; vermiculite particles enhance water retention capacity and stabilize water supply; zeolite powder reduces salt concentration through ion adsorption, forming a dynamic salt buffer mechanism; through the mixed substrate layer with this kind of optimized ratio, not only can effectively isolate the high salt environment, but also can provide an ideal microenvironment for the germination of pioneer vegetation seeds and the growth of seedlings, effectively improving the success rate of construction and planting.
[0045] In this embodiment, preferably, the microporous seepage irrigation pipe adopts PE pipe material with an inner diameter of 10 to 15 mm, and the pipe wall is uniformly provided with water seepage holes with a hole diameter of 0.3 to 0.5 mm, with a hole spacing of 10 to 15 cm, and the pipe body is wrapped with a 200g / m 2 non-woven fabric filter layer outside to prevent substrate blockage.
[0046] In this embodiment, preferably, the water regulation system further comprises:
[0047] The rainwater collection cellar unit is composed of a rainwater collection pool, a primary filter screen, a sedimentation tank, a conveying pipeline and an ultraviolet disinfection device. The rainwater collection pool is arranged at a low-lying place and has a volume of 5 to 10 cubic meters, connected to the microporous seepage irrigation pipe through a PVC pipeline to realize automatic water supply in the rainy season; the primary filter screen is used to preliminarily filter large particles in the rainwater, such as fallen leaves, sand and stones, to prevent the subsequent system from being blocked; the sedimentation tank is used to settle small particles and suspended matters in the rainwater, with a residence time of 2 to 4 hours to improve water transparency; the conveying pipeline adopts corrosion-resistant PVC material with an inner diameter of 20 to 25 mm, connecting the sedimentation tank and the ultraviolet disinfection device and being provided with a pressure regulating valve to control flow rate; the ultraviolet disinfection device is provided with an ultraviolet lamp tube with a radiation intensity of 40 to 60 mJ / cm 2 , used to kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the water to ensure biological safety of the irrigation water, and finally connected to the microporous seepage irrigation pipe through a connecting pipe to realize automatic supply. By constructing the rainwater collection cellar unit, the precipitation in the rainy season can be effectively utilized, the dependence on artificial water sources is reduced, the water resource utilization efficiency is improved, and through the automatic supply mechanism, the biological safety and stability of the irrigation water quality are ensured, thereby supporting the rapid construction and long-term growth of pioneer vegetation in high-salt desert areas, reducing the risk of salt accumulation, and enhancing the adaptability and sustainability of the system in arid environments.
[0048] The water content sensor is buried in the substrate layer at a depth of 10-15 cm to monitor real-time soil moisture data, and the preset soil moisture threshold range is 15%-25%. The water content sensor is set to realize precise monitoring and feedback control of soil moisture. When the monitoring value is lower than the lower limit of the preset threshold, the irrigation system is automatically triggered to start, and the sterilized rainwater is supplied to the substrate layer through the micro-porous seepage irrigation pipe. When the humidity reaches the upper limit of the threshold, the system automatically stops irrigation to ensure the dynamic balance and efficient use of water supply.
[0049] The soil salt content sensor is buried in the substrate layer at a depth of 10-15 cm to monitor real-time soil salt concentration data, and the preset salt concentration threshold range is 0.5%-1.0%. The soil salt content sensor is set to realize precise monitoring and feedback control of soil salt concentration. When the monitoring value exceeds the upper limit of the preset threshold (1.0%), the automatic flushing mechanism is automatically triggered to dilute through the connected drainage system or increase the amount of low-salt irrigation water. When the monitoring value is lower than the lower limit of the threshold (0.5%), the system automatically maintains or adjusts the irrigation parameters to reduce intervention, ensuring that the salt concentration is maintained within a safe range, thereby reducing the risk of salt accumulation and supporting the stable growth of pioneer vegetation.
[0050] The automatic control unit integrates the feedback signals of the water content sensor and the soil salt content sensor, and automatically starts or stops the micro-porous seepage irrigation pipe when the monitoring value exceeds the threshold, realizing precise irrigation control. By setting the automatic control unit, intelligent control of soil moisture and salt concentration can be realized, irrigation decisions can be optimized through real-time data processing algorithms, and timely responses can be ensured when the monitoring value deviates from the preset range, thereby maintaining the dynamic balance of substrate water supply and the salt safety threshold, effectively reducing resource waste and salt damage risk, and supporting the stable growth and rapid establishment of pioneer vegetation in saline-alkali stress environment.
[0051] In this embodiment, the automatic control unit also integrates a solar power supply module to convert solar energy into electrical energy, providing stable power supply for the automatic control unit, the water content sensor, and the soil salt content sensor. This can ensure continuous and stable operation of the system in remote high-salt desert areas without relying on external power supply, thereby reducing energy costs, reducing maintenance requirements, and improving the environmental adaptability and reliability of the entire irrigation control system, supporting the sustainable growth and rapid establishment of pioneer vegetation in long-term saline-alkali stress environment.
[0052] In this embodiment, the mixed seeds are preferably selected from Tamarix, Suaeda salsa, and Calligonum, and are mixed in a mass ratio of 3:5:2. This mixture can fully utilize the deep-rooted nitrogen-fixing advantage of Tamarix, the high salt-tolerant characteristic of Suaeda salsa, and the rapid surface coverage ability of Calligonum, forming a complementary growth mechanism in the saline-alkali gradient environment, effectively improving seed germination rate, seedling stress resistance, and community stability, thereby accelerating the establishment process of pioneer vegetation and reducing the risk of salt damage.

[0054] In this embodiment, preferably, the micro-zone leaching procedure is as follows: continuously dripping low-mineralized water (EC≤1.5dS / m) through the micro-porous infiltration pipe at a rate of 2L / m·h for 8 to 12 hours, so that the EC value of the root zone is reduced to below 5dS / m after leaching; and then the salt dynamic balance of the root zone can be effectively maintained, the salt accumulation under drought conditions can be prevented, the energy consumption and maintenance frequency of the irrigation system can be significantly reduced, the adaptability of the irrigation system to high-salt environment can be enhanced, and finally the stable establishment and rapid growth of the pioneer vegetation in the saline-alkali gradient can be supported.
[0055] In this embodiment, preferably, the mesophytic herbaceous species include Suaeda salsa, Artemisia sphaerocephala and Alhagi maurorum, and are planted at a mass ratio of 4:3:3; such planting can fully utilize the high-salt tolerance of Suaeda salsa, the strong drought resistance of Artemisia sphaerocephala and the deep-rooted nitrogen-fixing characteristics of Alhagi maurorum, form a complementary synergistic effect, improve the germination rate, survival rate and growth rate of the vegetation in the saline-alkali gradient, optimize the soil structure, reduce water evaporation, and enhance the response efficiency to the micro-zone leaching procedure, so as to support the stable establishment and long-term sustainability of the pioneer community.
