Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an ecological restoration technology for a degraded sedge wetland, belonging to the technical field of wetland ecological restoration. Background Art
[0002] Wetland ecosystems are natural complexes with transitional properties between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. As an important natural resource, wetlands, with their special composition and structure, play a protective role in conserving water sources, reducing peak floods, regulating climate, purifying pollutants, maintaining water and soil, storing carbon pools, and providing habitats for species. As one of the regions with the richest wetland resources in China, Northeast China is characterized by a large area, multiple types, important location, and rich biodiversity.
[0004] There is a lot of research work on wetland restoration and reconstruction theory at home and abroad. At present, although China started late in the research on wetland ecological restoration and reconstruction, it has developed rapidly. The Chinese government attaches great importance to wetland protection and lists wetland protection and restoration as important indicators of ecological civilization construction. The latest "Wetland Protection and Restoration System Plan" promulgated and implemented has made arrangements for wetland protection and restoration under the new situation, and proposed the total wetland area control. By 2020, the national wetland area will not be less than 800 million mu of wetland protection red line. On the basis of ensuring that the wetland area does not decrease, the ecological function of wetlands will be enhanced, the biodiversity of wetlands will be maintained, and the level of wetland protection and restoration will be comprehensively improved. The wetland restoration projects currently carried out in my country basically emphasize natural restoration under human intervention. Restoration technology can be divided into wetland matrix restoration, hydrological process restoration, water environment restoration, wetland biological and habitat restoration, etc. However, according to the different wetland types, restoration goals and degree of degradation, wetland restoration measures are also different. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and further provide an ecological restoration technology for degraded sedge wetlands.
[0006] The objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] An ecological restoration technology for degraded sedge wetlands.
[0008] Step 1: Diagnosis of the degree of degradation of the sedge grass wetland. In early May of the same year, investigate the degraded sedge grass wetlands. Wetlands with a sedge grass coverage of 40% to 50% are slightly degraded, wetlands with a sedge grass coverage of 30% to 40% are moderately degraded, and wetlands with a sedge grass coverage of 20% to 30% are severely degraded. Different restoration measures are taken for different degrees of degradation.
[0009] Step 2: Restore the slightly degraded sedge wetland by using water control. Long-term irrigation will begin in mid-May to control the surface water level at 5-10 cm.
[0010] Step 3: To restore moderately degraded sedge wetlands, use a combination of water regulation and transplanting of aboveground stems. Cut the aboveground stems of the current year's sedge, each section containing 5 to 8 aboveground branches, with a spacing of 30 to 50 cm and a planting depth of 5 to 10 cm. The transplanting time is mid-May. Water immediately after transplanting, control the surface water level at 10 to 15 cm, and use shading nets to shade for 10 to 20 days.
[0011] Step 4: To restore severely degraded Sedge Wetland, use a combination of water regulation and rhizome transplanting. Dig out Sedge Weed plants with rhizomes and plant them in clumps, with 3 to 5 plants in each clump, 50 to 100 cm apart, and a planting depth of 10 to 15 cm. Transplant in mid-May. Water immediately after transplanting to control the surface water level at 15 to 20 cm.
[0012] Step 5: Post-maintenance management, strictly control the surface water level. The water level of slightly degraded sedge wetlands should not be lower than 5cm, and the water level of moderately and severely degraded sedge wetlands should not be lower than 10cm.
[0013] The outstanding feature of the present invention is that it is based on the principle of quasi-natural restoration, combined with the water niche characteristics of wetland plants, and through artificial assistance, it accelerates the rapid recovery of sedge wetlands with different degrees of degradation. It can significantly improve the structure and composition of the plant community in the sedge wetland, significantly enhance the function of the wetland ecosystem, and transform the sedge wetland from a degraded state to a natural non-degraded state. In 2021, experiments were carried out in the Honghe National Nature Reserve in Heilongjiang Province. The experimental area of the mildly degraded sedge wetland was 2 hectares, and the experimental areas of the moderately and severely degraded sedge wetlands were 1 hectare each. The continuous monitoring results from 2022 to 2024 showed that the coverage of the mildly degraded sedge increased by 20% to 30%, and the biomass increased by 10% to 20%. The coverage of the moderately degraded sedge increased by more than 25%, and the biomass increased by more than 20%. The coverage of the severely degraded sedge increased by 30% to 50%, and the biomass increased by 30% to 40%. The wetland degradation was effectively controlled, and the number of annual plants in the vegetation species composition was significantly reduced. The invention is simple to operate and has wide applicability. It can be afforded by governments, enterprises and institutions, and can significantly improve the regional ecological environment. It is of great significance to maintain regional ecological security and protect wetland species diversity. At the same time, it can provide a solid ecological guarantee for regional economic and social development. The invention can be used for the restoration of degraded wetlands in Northeast China.
