Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of ecological restoration, and in particular to a fiber gel formula suitable for ecological restoration and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0003] The application of water-retaining materials is considered a key measure in the strategy to deal with land desertification. However, although traditional water-retaining materials can alleviate the problem of soil water loss to a certain extent, their insufficient air permeability often limits the normal breathing and growth expansion of vegetation roots, thereby affecting the survival rate of vegetation and the effect of ecological restoration. This limitation greatly reduces the application effect of traditional water-retaining materials under drought and desertification soil conditions, and cannot meet the long-term needs of ecological restoration.

[0004] In view of this, the scientific research community and the international community are actively seeking innovative solutions to develop new ecological restoration materials that can effectively retain soil moisture, while also taking into account air permeability, promoting nutrient circulation and being environmentally friendly. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a fiber gel formula suitable for ecological restoration and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problem that the existing water-retaining materials have insufficient air permeability and restrict the growth of vegetation roots.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows: a fiber gel formula suitable for ecological restoration is composed of the following raw materials by weight: 48 parts of wood fiber materials, 28 parts of rock powder, 7 parts of hydrogel, 3 parts of organic fertilizer, 3 parts of seaweed particles, a mixture of potassium humate and chitosan, 4 parts of colloid, and 7 parts of clay.

[0007] Furthermore, the wood fiber material is one of wood fiber matrix, sawdust and straw.

[0008] Through the above settings, the above materials have good ecological restoration performance resources, can enhance the structural stability of the soil, and provide support for plant growth. It can also effectively improve the air permeability and water retention capacity of the soil in ecological restoration, and provide certain organic matter. Therefore, this solution improves the soil structure, prevents soil loss, improves the air permeability and water retention capacity of the soil, and provides a habitat for microorganisms, which helps to restore the soil ecosystem.

[0009] Furthermore, the rock powder is a mixture of vermiculite, perlite and limestone powder.

[0010] Through the above settings, rock powder is rich in various minerals and can provide essential mineral nutrients for soil and plants. Mineral materials such as vermiculite, perlite and limestone powder not only have good water retention performance, but also can effectively improve the structure and fertility of the soil. Therefore, this solution enhances soil fertility, improves the nutrient supply for plant growth, and improves the water and nutrient retention capacity of the soil, which is conducive to promoting the healthy growth of plants.

[0011] Furthermore, the hydrogel is a mixture of alginate hydrogel, chitosan hydrogel and cellulose hydrogel.

[0012] Through the above settings, the above materials have extremely strong water retention capacity, can slowly release water in a drought environment, and provide a lasting water source for plants. In addition, alginate hydrogel and chitosan hydrogel are not only environmentally friendly but also have good biodegradability, and are ideal ecological restoration materials. Therefore, this solution improves the water retention capacity of the soil, reduces water evaporation, ensures the water supply of the soil under drought conditions, and promotes the growth and survival of plant roots.

[0013] Furthermore, the colloid is guar gum.

[0014] Through the above settings, the above materials have good gel properties and can enhance the viscosity and stability of the formula. They help to enhance the water holding performance of the fiber gel and reduce water loss. Thereby increasing the viscosity and stability of the gel, improving the water retention capacity of the soil, preventing the water from evaporating too quickly, and maintaining the soil moist.

[0015] Furthermore, the clay is a mixture of kaolin, bentonite and bleaching earth.

[0016] Through the above arrangement, the above material has excellent water absorption, expansion and stability, can improve the water retention performance of the soil and help the soil maintain structural stability. Therefore, this solution enhances the water retention capacity of the soil, prevents water loss, increases the fertility and stability of the soil, and is conducive to promoting plant growth.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This proposal aims to propose a revolutionary fiber gel formula and its preparation process for drought, desertification and poor soil conditions. This formula aims to overcome the shortcomings of traditional water-retaining materials, and through scientific proportions and advanced processes, achieve a perfect combination of water retention, air permeability, nutrient circulation and environmental protection functions, in order to significantly improve plant survival rates under drought and poor soil conditions, and provide strong technical support for ecological restoration.

[0019] 2. This plan is not only a major breakthrough in the existing water-retaining material technology, but also an active exploration of global land desertification control and ecological environment improvement. Through innovative fiber gel formula and preparation process, it will promote more efficient and sustainable ecological restoration, help the world cope with the challenges of climate change, soil degradation and water scarcity, and provide solid technical support and broad application prospects for future ecological restoration and environmental protection.

[0020] 3. Compared with traditional water-retaining agents, this solution uses composite ingredients such as degradable organic polysaccharides, organic acids and amino acids, which can form a "drought-resistant slow-release nutrient layer" at the roots of trees, slowly release water and nutrients, continuously improve the root microenvironment, and effectively activate the soil structure. The degraded components are converted into soil organic matter, which not only solves the problem of poor air permeability of traditional water-retaining materials, but also promotes soil activation and promotes healthy root development. The effect of this solution is unmatched by ordinary water-retaining materials. This document evaluates the effectiveness of the formula by comparing plant growth. This method is simple and intuitive and can clearly reflect the actual effect of the formula.

[0021] 4. The mixture of seaweed particles, potassium humate and chitosan in this solution has good hydration, degradability and soil improvement function. For example, seaweed particles can increase the structural stability and air permeability of the soil, potassium humate helps to enhance the water retention of the soil and promote the development of plant roots, and chitosan has excellent hydration and can improve the water retention and microbial environment of the soil. Therefore, this solution improves the cohesion of soil particles and enhances the structural stability of the soil. It improves the water retention capacity of the soil and reduces water evaporation. It promotes the activity of soil microorganisms and improves soil health. It provides a better growth environment for plants and supports the healthy development of plant roots.

[0044] Temperature and humidity experiment:

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the fiber gel of Examples 1-6 is placed in a container containing standard sand, the fiber gel is placed in the middle of the standard sand, a plurality of temperature and humidity sensors are plugged into the side wall of the container, and a plurality of drainage holes are opened at the bottom of the container. The above container is placed in a constant temperature oven, the oven temperature is set to a set high temperature value of 60°C, and the oven is used to simulate a hot dry environment.

[0046] During the experiment, temperature and humidity sensors were used to monitor and record the temperature and humidity changes of each layer in the experimental container in real time, and the experiment was repeated three times.

[0047] Combined with the temperature and humidity data in Table 1 below, the water evaporation and humidity changes were analyzed to evaluate the effects of each embodiment on soil moisture retention. The temperature and humidity results in Table 1 are the average values ​​of the experimental results obtained in each group after repeating the experiment three times. The control groups in Tables 1-3 below are blank control groups, i.e., no water retention products were placed during plant cultivation.

[0048] Table 1 Temperature and humidity changes of Examples 1-6

[0049]

[0050]

[0051]

[0052] The results in Table 1 show that fiber gel can provide a stable water supply to the soil layer in a dry and hot environment, significantly reducing the rate of soil moisture decline. Compared with the control group, the experimental group using fiber gel showed a higher water retention capacity, effectively delaying the loss of soil moisture and ensuring that the soil maintains a high water content. This result shows that fiber gel has a strong ability to regulate water in drought and high temperature environments, and can provide continuous water support for initial plant growth. It is especially suitable for areas with scarce water resources, and provides a new solution for agricultural irrigation management and ecological restoration.

[0053] Plant cultivation experiment:

[0054] 80 g of the fiber gel product of Examples 1-6 with a dry weight of 1-6 was placed in a container with soil, and the fiber gel was placed at the bottom of the soil ball of the seedling in the container; the soil depth, quality and planting method of the plants in each example were ensured to be consistent. A plurality of drainage holes were provided at the bottom of the container, and a soil moisture probe was used to regularly record the moisture changes in the soil layer near the roots of the tree to ensure that the watering amount of Examples 1-6 and the control group was consistent.

[0055] After sowing, the basic data of each seedling were measured, and the plant height increase, survival rate and health status were counted. Table 2 below shows the monitoring data of seedling leaves.

[0056] Table 2

[0057]

[0058] Actual case display:

[0059] Lhasa station experimental system: The fiber gel product shown in Table 3 is placed at the root of the seedling, and then three soil temperature and humidity measurement sensors are placed at intervals from top to bottom at the root of the seedling. The three soil temperature and humidity measurement sensors are electrically connected to the monitoring station.

[0060] Table 3

[0061]

[0062] Among them, the fiber-gel combination of experimental group 1 was 55% wood fiber matrix + 28% rock powder + 7% hydrogel + 3% organic fertilizer + 3% mixture of seaweed particles, potassium humate and chitosan + 4% colloid, the fiber-gel combination of experimental group 2 was 48% wood fiber matrix + 28% rock powder + 7% hydrogel + 3% organic fertilizer + 3% mixture of seaweed particles, potassium humate and chitosan + 4% colloid + 7% clay, the fiber-gel combination of experimental group 3 was 39% wood fiber matrix + 42% rock powder + 9% hydrogel + 3% organic fertilizer + 3% mixture of seaweed particles, potassium humate and chitosan + 4% colloid, and the fiber-gel combination of experimental group 4 was 48% wood fiber matrix + 28% rock powder + 7% hydrogel + 3% organic fertilizer + 3% mixture of seaweed particles, potassium humate and chitosan + 4% colloid. The fiber-gel combination of experimental group 1 was 36% sawdust + 25% rock powder + 9% hydrogel + 3% organic fertilizer + 3% seaweed particles, a mixture of potassium humate and chitosan + 4% colloid + 20% clay; the fiber-gel combination of experimental group 5 was 39% straw + 25% rock powder + 6% hydrogel + 3% organic fertilizer + 3% seaweed particles, a mixture of potassium humate and chitosan + 4% colloid + 20% clay; the fiber-gel combination of experimental group 6 was 6% hydrogel + 3% organic fertilizer + 3% seaweed particles, a mixture of potassium humate and chitosan + 3% colloid + 85% clay; the control group did not place any water-retaining products when planting plants.

[0063] like Figure 2-9 The experimental results show that fiber gel products significantly improve the soil moisture retention capacity and effectively promote the healthy growth of plants in drought and water-scarce environments. Fiber gel significantly improves the water use efficiency of plants by delaying soil moisture loss and providing stable moisture support, reducing irrigation requirements in the initial growth stage by about 30% to 50%. The data also showed that the root systems of trees and shrubs in the fiber gel treatment group were more developed and robust, and their overall growth performance was better than that of the control group. The developed root system not only improves the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, but also enhances its drought resistance and adaptability, which has positive significance for stabilizing plant growth, improving wind resistance, and optimizing ecosystem stability. The results of this study fully demonstrate that fiber gel has broad application potential in the fields of drought management and ecological restoration. Especially in areas of drought and water shortage, fiber gel provides an innovative and efficient solution for reducing water consumption and improving plant growth efficiency.

It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
