[0034] The present invention provides a method for ecological restoration of rocky desertification slopes based on microtopography, comprising the following steps:

[0035] S1. Investigation of desertification degree and slope soil thickness

[0036] Collect data on rocky desertification areas, conduct preliminary surveys, and use satellite and remote sensing imagery to analyze vegetation coverage and rock exposure rates. Use ground-penetrating radar or artificial cuttings to select 60-200 representative sampling points based on actual conditions.

[0044]

[0045] S3, adaptive plant selection

[0046] Based on the principles of zonality, ecological and economic compatibility, and diversity, according to different micro-topography and soil thickness, select seeds of self-adaptive plants suitable for planting in karst rocky desertification and high-calcium areas;

[0047] For example, in the micro-topography of stone cracks, Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Thymus vulgaris can be selected, which are suitable for growing in cracks.

[0048] Detailed selection and scientific basis are as follows:

[0049]

[0050] S4, planting

[0051] After delineating different micro-topography, spread the soil mixed with fertilizer, litter, water-retaining agent, and soil loosening agent on the micro-topography of stone cracks and stone holes, wherein the fertilizer is 12%, the litter is 80%, the water-retaining agent is 5%, and the soil loosening agent is 3%. Plant the seeds in the soil and water them. On the micro-topography of stone caves and stone ditches, according to the principle of one cave and one pit, and one ditch and three pits (the number of planting pits can be determined according to the size of the cave and pit), lay the gauze with good water absorption such as sponge gauze in the planting pit, fill in the special mixture soil for seedling raising, bury the seeds, and then backfill and compact. On the soil surface and stone surface, properly loosen and renovate the soil, dig drainage channels and planting pits, dig a certain number of drainage holes between the drainage channels and the planting pits, place isolation bricks around the drainage channels, drainage holes, and planting pits to prevent water and soil loss from damaging the planting pits, bury the mixture soil, and then backfill and compact after planting. Regularly fertilize and water the planting points.

[0052] Introduce protozoa; (Protozoa are small soil animals, mainly including flagellates, motile worms, and ciliates. Protozoa affect root respiration by feeding on plant roots, changing the availability and distribution of rhizosphere nutrients, while increasing root biomass, fine roots, and root tip number; nematodes, microarthropods, earthworms, and earthworms.)

[0053] Soil animals play an important role in soil formation, development, and fertility maintenance. Given the mature development of domestic special economic animals, insect industry, and artificial breeding technology, technical support is provided for large-area soil animal restoration, such as earthworms, spiders, and terrestrial turtles. Introduce 300 earthworms per cubic meter and 100 terrestrial turtles per cubic meter.

[0054] Priority to use the seed produced by the fine seed source and the fine seed base, and the seed produced by the fine single tree of the fine stand under the condition of no fine seed base; the seed, seedling and other propagation material with the forest plant quarantine object are prohibited; the quality of the tree seed reaches the seed quality standard of GB 7908 or the local standard; the quality of the seedling is executed according to GB 6000 or the local seedling quality standard.

[0055] S5, topdressing and biological control

[0056] Since the plants considered in the application mostly belong to drought-tolerant and poor-tolerant organisms, fertilization and control are reasonably topdressed and biologically controlled according to the growth cycle of the selected plants, and do not require long-term human care.

[0057] S6, forest closure

[0058] In the heavy and extremely heavy desertification area where the sum of the vegetation type and the vegetation comprehensive coverage factor index is greater than 13 and less than 26, artificial promotion of forest closure can be carried out. In the heavy and extremely heavy desertification area, the vegetation comprehensive coverage is between 30% and 70% in the area, and the whole forest closure is carried out.
