[0038] The following will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0039] See also Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides an ecological habitat system for crested ibis, including an ecological pond 5, a rice field 2, a nesting forest area 3 and a wandering area 4;
[0040] The rice fields and nesting forest areas are surrounded by the ecological pond, and the land is filled in the gaps between the rice fields, nesting forest areas and ecological ponds;
[0041] The ecological pond is connected to an external river water source to maintain water supply. A horizontal subsurface flow wetland is set up in the ecological pond. The horizontal subsurface flow wetland is separated from the main body of the reservoir by a water body, and algae are planted in the horizontal subsurface flow wetland.
[0042] From the outside to the inside of the ecological pond, there are green belts 525, boxwood is planted in the green belts 525, hardened roads 524, gabion slope protection 523 and algae isolation belts 522. The algae isolation belts 522 and the pond body 521 are separated by water. Ecological floating islands are set on the water surface of the pond, and cannas 527 are planted at the corners of the pond body. The bottom of the horizontal subsurface flow wetland is composed of a rammed soil layer 511, and upwards, there are clay protective layers 512, cement cushion layers 513, HDPE membranes and geotextile protective layers 515, sand cushion layers and gravel cushion layers 514.
[0043] The horizontal subsurface wetland is set up in the ecological pond. On the one hand, it is used to plant plants such as reeds, cattails, and cannas to breed food for the crested ibis; it is also used to control the water quality of the pond body, using microorganisms to carry out nitrification-denitrification on the wetland to reduce odor and the breeding of mosquitoes and flies, and prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases. Secondly, the setting of the bottom filler of the subsurface wetland and the planting of foxtail algae on the surface can have a heat preservation effect, ensuring a certain amount of plankton even in autumn and winter to provide food for the crested ibis. This is crucial for the ecological pond transformed by artificial drainage.
[0044] The rice fields are arranged in a multi-level terraced form, with water supplied by ecological ponds. The multi-level terraces in the rice fields are divided by ridges, and the ridges are equipped with switchable V-shaped water outlets.
[0045] The ecological pond and the rice field are connected via an inlet channel 22, and a fixed slope protection 21 is set on the outside of the inlet channel 22; the water from the inlet channel 22 enters the distribution channel 23 by overflow, and the water from the distribution channel 23 is transported to the rice field through a V-shaped outlet. The rice field and the wandering land are connected via a water collection channel, and the water collection channel is output through a V-shaped outlet. The water collection channel and the distribution channel are connected by a waterway. The soil of the rice field is the surface soil of the original beach and 10% of the river pond soil by volume. The bottom layer is gravel, and under the gravel is a composite geomembrane for anti-seepage. The highest level of rice fields is used for rice-fish co-culture, and the second level of rice fields is used for rice-loach co-culture. The third level of rice fields is used for the co-culture of various grasses, and the fourth level of rice fields is used for the natural growth of local plants;
[0046] In autumn and winter, the first and second level rice fields are irrigated and water is stored, the second and third level rice fields are plowed, and the fourth level rice fields are manually cut of low shrubs or herbaceous plants and piled on the spot.
[0047] The height difference of the terrace can be maintained at about 1 meter (500cm-800cm is optimal), and the specific transformation depends on the actual terrain, and the horizontal terrace is the best (the overall slope is about 15°). According to the needs of the ecosystem, the terrace has the advantages of water storage and soil conservation, which can ensure the operational stability of the entire ecosystem. In addition, the ventilation and light transmission conditions of the terrace are good, which is conducive to the accumulation of nutrients and convenient for the planning of the irrigation and drainage system. Specifically in this embodiment, it is only necessary to uniformly divert water from the ecological pond to achieve irrigation. Secondly, the centralized distribution of the terraces is conducive to the planning of roads. In actual application, a road can be set up around the steps of the terraces. The impact of production activities on the crested ibis can be greatly reduced.
[0048] Terraces can also retain topsoil as much as possible and accelerate soil maturation, which can improve the effect in the early stages of ecosystem construction and ensure rice field yields and the establishment of a complete rice field ecosystem.
[0049] In autumn and winter, the first and second level rice fields are irrigated and stored with water (without plowing) to reduce the hardness of the soil and attract the growth of benthic organisms, such as loaches, fish and snails; these organisms move back and forth between the water layer and the mud layer, forming a stable paddy field environment, which can provide sufficient winter food for the crested ibis. The second and third level rice fields are plowed to reduce the hardness of the soil and facilitate winter fertilization of the land. At this time, there are some insect larvae such as Lepidoptera and Odonata in the mud. The fourth level rice fields are piled with low shrubs or herbaceous plants to prevent the crested ibis from directly contacting the hard ground and to ensure that insects have a space for activities in winter. Because the crested ibis is a wading bird that forages by touch, it has higher requirements for the winter land environment. The transitional form of winter treatment of rice fields at different levels can ensure the biodiversity of the rice fields, and also avoid the problem of crested ibis foraging gap caused by the disappearance of a certain species due to population problems in that year.
[0050] The water from the rice fields flows into the wandering land. The side of the wandering land near the rice fields or ecological ponds is shrub land, and the side near the nesting forest area is arbor forest. The shrub forest in the wandering land includes Vitex negundo and Acer truncatum; the arbor forest includes Platycladus orientalis and Broussonetia papyrifera.
[0051] The wandering area is to provide a place for the crested ibis to stay and forage during the wandering period; the environment is mainly shrubs, and transitions to the nesting forest through the arbor forest. At the same time, the wandering area is guaranteed to be concealed to a certain extent, which is suitable for the activities of the population.
[0052] Pine trees are planted in the nesting forest area.
[0053] In the nesting forest area, what needs to be solved are the invasion of snakes on the nests of Crested Ibis and the problem of Crested Ibis chicks falling out of the nests.
[0054] This embodiment adopts the form of an artificial bird's nest: Figure 6-Figure 9 The artificial bird nest is a nest-like structure formed by a plurality of wing frames arranged at intervals 7;
[0055] A protective frame is provided at the bottom of the nest-shaped structure 7, and the protective frame is provided along the lower edge of the nest-shaped structure, and forms a disc-shaped structure with a radius larger than the nest-shaped structure 7 under the nest-shaped structure 7;
[0056] The disc-shaped structure includes a turnover frame 67 arranged at an annular interval, and a flexible disc surface 671 is connected between adjacent turnover frames 67, and the flexible disc surface 671 is adapted to the turnover frame 67 to be turned over and contracted;
[0057] The flip frame 67 is connected to a driving structure, which includes a cam 61 and a column 68. The cam 61 is driven and connected to a shift fork 63. Figure 7 As shown, one end of the fork 63 is rotatably connected to the support frame 62, and the support frame 62 is fixed on the support platform 69. The support platform 69 can be fixed on a tree when installed. A convex column 621 is provided in the middle of the fork 63, and the cam 61 is a disc cam, and a cam groove is provided on the end surface. The convex column 621 is embedded and slidably connected in the cam groove.
[0058] One end of the shift fork 63 is hinged with a sliding sleeve 64, which is slidably connected to the column 68. The sliding sleeve 64 is fixedly connected to a support rod 65 in the circumferential direction, and the end of the support rod 65 is connected with a connecting rod 66. The flip frame 67 has a first hinged end and a second hinged end. The first hinged end is hinged to the connecting rod 66, and the second hinged end is hinged to the column 68. The cam 61 drives the shift fork 63 to slide up and down, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 64 to slide up and down, driving the connecting rod 65 to drive the flip frame 67 to flip around the second hinged end.
[0059] The top of the column 68 is used to place the bottom of the artificial bird's nest. The fin frames 71 are slidably connected to the bottom of the nest in groups. The fin frames 71 are fixedly connected as a whole. At least one fin frame 71 is slidably connected to the bottom of the nest and can also be slidably connected to the column 68. The depth of the sliding connection can be relatively set deeper to play a guiding role. The fin frame 71 slidably connected to the bottom of the nest / column 68 is connected to the flip frame 67 to achieve coordinated driving.
[0060] The second connecting end is fixedly connected with a first connecting rod 712, an end of the first connecting rod 712 is hinged to a second connecting rod 711, and an end of the second connecting rod 711 is connected to the fin frame 71;
[0061] When the flip frame 67 flips upward, the fin frame 71 is lifted upward by pushing the first connecting rod 712 and the second connecting rod 711; Figure 8For example, the flip frame 67 flips upward, and the first connecting rod flips upward clockwise, pushing the second connecting rod 711 and the fin hanger 71 at the end of the second connecting rod 711 to slide upward, thereby opening a passage to enter the artificial bird's nest.
[0062] When a young bird falls from the artificial bird's nest, it will first fall on the disc-shaped structure. At this time, the turning frame is driven to turn over, and the wing frame 71 is lifted up, so that the young bird is sent back to the artificial bird's nest.
[0063] In actual applications, the cam is driven by a motor, and the motor can be powered by a solar panel. In addition, the cam is driven and the crank slider design is stable and has a long service life. In addition, in the application, it should be avoided that the crested ibis fills the artificial bird's nest with too many branches and debris. Therefore, when it is put into use, the bird's nest can be cleaned manually after the young birds hatch, and the branches and debris can be removed; during debugging, after the crested ibis nesting period, it can be debugged repeatedly, and the wing frame 71 can slide up and down many times to press the debris on the bottom of the nest.
[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the protective frame is located at the lower edge of the opening of the nest-like structure. In addition to being used to catch young birds that fall out of the nest, it also forms a barrier to prevent snakes from crawling into the bird's nest.
[0065] In addition, the fin frame 71 is a sheet-like structure, which is arranged in an interval ring, and can also prevent snakes from entering. The interval structure on the outer side reduces the friction when the snake crawls around, thereby increasing the difficulty of crawling; the inner side of the fin frame 71 can be connected as a whole;
[0066] It is worth mentioning that a curved portion is provided at the end of the fin frame 71, the curved portion is made of a water-absorbing resin material, and the area of the outer side surface 700 of the curved portion is larger than the area of the inner side surface 701. When in use, since the egg-laying period of the crested ibis is in spring, the weather is relatively dry. Fig. 9 As shown, the fin skeleton 71 absorbs less water, and the whole is in a stretched state, which can keep the ventilation in the nest and provide a better incubation environment for the crested ibis. When the young bird hatches, it is already between spring and summer, and the air is relatively humid at this time. The curved portion absorbs more water. Since the area of the outer side is larger than the inner side (the density of the water-absorbing resin on the outer side can also be set to be larger than the inner side), the expansion coefficient of the outer side is greater than that of the inner side. At this time, the curved portion will bend from the outside to the inside, and the whole bird's nest will be in a folded state, which prevents the young bird from falling and has the effect of heat preservation. The function of this curved portion is similar to the principle of pine cone absorbing water and folding.
[0067] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
