Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ecological restoration technology, and in particular to a method for comprehensive ecological restoration and intelligent monitoring of a dry lake basin. Background Technology

[0002] Dry lake basins are a typical desert landform in Northwest my country, mainly composed of silt, clay, and evaporative salt crust. They are also a major source of sandstorms. Due to water depletion, the surface of dry lake basins is exposed, and the soil is loose, making them highly susceptible to becoming sources of wind erosion and sandstorms. This poses a severe challenge to the surrounding ecological environment and human activities. The region has an arid climate and strong winds, providing ample conditions for wind erosion and sandstorms. In arid conditions, soil moisture evaporates rapidly, resulting in loose soil that is easily blown away by the wind. Wind erosion and sandstorms not only erode the soil and damage vegetation, exacerbating desertification, but also carry large amounts of salt and alkali dust, polluting the surrounding ecological environment. In addition, wind erosion and sandstorms reduce visibility, affecting traffic safety, especially around major transportation routes such as highways and railways, and may also damage transportation facilities. Wind erosion and sandstorms cover farmland, affecting crop growth, reducing yields, and exacerbating soil salinization.

[0003] While existing methods for wind and sand control, such as windbreaks and afforestation, are effective to some extent, they are costly, difficult to sustain under extreme drought conditions, and have many shortcomings. For example, under extreme drought conditions, straw checkerboard barriers easily rot and fail, windbreaks require frequent maintenance due to sand accumulation, and cannot adapt to the dynamic changes of sand dune movement. Furthermore, existing vegetation restoration technologies rely on external water supply, but water resources are extremely scarce in arid lake basins, resulting in low vegetation survival rates and high restoration costs. Moreover, existing vegetation restoration technologies often employ single-species planting, lacking adaptive selection for the extreme environment of arid lake basins, leading to low vegetation survival rates and hindering the realization of ecological functions. In addition, existing wind and sand control technologies lack a dynamic coupling monitoring mechanism for soil salinization and wind erosion processes, making it impossible to adjust restoration strategies in a timely manner, resulting in unsustainable restoration effects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a comprehensive ecological restoration method and intelligent monitoring method for dry lake basins to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution.

[0006] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for comprehensive ecological restoration of a dry lake basin, comprising:

[0007] S1. Multiple transplanting holes are evenly opened on the surface inside the dry lake basin, and native plants in the dry lake basin are transplanted into the multiple transplanting holes by means of imported soil transplantation. At least a water-retaining film is covered on the multiple transplanting holes, and then the transplanted plants are propagated to achieve sand control and edge locking inside the dry lake basin.

[0008] S2, Native plants are planted circumferentially along the edge of the dry lake basin to form a sand-controlling plant strip. The sand-controlling plant strip includes a first ring area, a second ring area, and a third ring area distributed sequentially from the inside of the dry lake basin to the outside. Herbaceous plants are planted in the first ring area, shrubs and herbaceous plants are interspersed in the second ring area to form a first living screen, and trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants are interspersed in the third ring area to form a second living screen.

[0009] S3, plant psammophytes on the shifting sands outside the dry lake basin, then cover the surface with gravel evenly, and then irrigate intermittently with mobile auxiliary irrigation equipment to fix the surface shifting sands;

[0010] S4. Plant sand-fixing trees and shrubs in the upwind area outside the dry lake basin, sow sand-loving herbaceous plants, and cover the ground surface with sand-fixing nets to construct a plant-based sand-fixing grid.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in S1, the multiple transplanting holes are divided into multiple groups, and the three transplanting holes in each group are arranged in a triangular shape, with the distance between them being 0.5-1.5 times the diameter of the transplanting holes. This facilitates the formation of new shrub sand dunes inside the dry lake basin and improves the sand fixation efficiency.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the width of the first annular region is 5-50m, the width of the second annular region is 10-50m, and the width of the third annular region is 15-50m.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the herbaceous plants include *Haloxylon ammodendron*, *Hedysarum heterotropoides*, *Haloxylon ammodendron*, *Camel thorn*, or reeds; the shrubs include *Haloxylon ammodendron*, *Caragana korshinskii*, or *Calligonum mongolicum*; the trees include *Populus euphratica*, *Elaeagnus pungens*, or *Pinus sylvestris*; and the top of the shrubs is close to the lower part of the tree's leaf crown.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shrub planting density in the second annular region is greater than the shrub planting density in the third annular region.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, grass squares are arranged on the ground of the first annular area, and herbaceous plants are planted in the area surrounded by the grass squares.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for intelligent monitoring of the ecology of a dry lake basin, step S2 specifically includes: selecting the species and / or planting density of trees and / or shrubs to be planted in the second and / or third annular areas based on the topographic features around the dry lake basin, so that the first and / or second living screen barriers have the best sand-blocking and sand-fixing efficiency.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the repair method further includes:

[0018] Chemical sand fixation treatment was carried out on the shifting sand around the shrub sand dunes upwind of the dry lake basin.

[0019] And / or, apply a soil conditioner to the soil inside and around the dry lake basin, said soil conditioner including one or more of water-retaining agents, microbial agents, and fertilizers.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for intelligent monitoring of a dry lake basin ecosystem is provided for intelligent monitoring of an ecological restoration area of ​​a dry lake basin, the method comprising:

[0021] Step 1: Deploy various environmental monitoring sensors in the dry lake basin ecological restoration area to monitor the environmental parameters of the dry lake basin ecological restoration area in real time;

[0022] Step 2: Data processing and strategy generation in the intelligent management module

[0023] S21, Data Recording and Processing: The intelligent management module collects and stores data from environmental monitoring sensors in real time, performs data cleaning and preprocessing, and ensures the accuracy and integrity of the data;

[0024] S22, Wind and Sand Activity Trend Prediction: Based on historical wind direction and speed data, statistical models and machine learning algorithms are used to predict wind and sand activity trends in the future. Based on the prediction results, corresponding wind and sand prevention strategies are generated, such as adjusting vegetation planting density and types, and increasing sand fixation measures.

[0025] S23, Soil Improvement and Vegetation Planting Strategy: Based on real-time monitored soil property data, the intelligent management module selects suitable vegetation species for planting in the soil improvement area and generates corresponding plant planting strategies. For example, for areas with low soil moisture, drought-resistant plants are selected; for areas with severe desertification, plants with strong sand-fixing ability are selected.

[0026] Step 3: Ecological Restoration Effectiveness Assessment and Strategy Adjustment

[0027] S31, Periodic Assessment: The intelligent management module periodically assesses the effectiveness of ecological restoration based on environmental parameters within a selected time period.

[0028] S32, Strategy Adjustment: Based on the assessment results, the intelligent management module automatically adjusts the ecological restoration strategy.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wind speed and direction of the dry lake basin ecological restoration area are monitored by wind speed and direction sensors to assess the trend and intensity of wind and sand activity.

[0030] Soil sensors were used to monitor soil moisture in the ecological restoration area of ​​the dry lake basin, providing data support for vegetation growth.

[0031] The vegetation coverage and growth status of the ecological restoration area of ​​the dry lake basin were monitored using remote sensing equipment and on-site monitoring methods.

[0032] And / or, the periodic assessments in step S31 include vegetation cover, soil improvement, and reduction in wind and sand activity;

[0033] And / or, the specific adjustments to the ecological restoration strategy in step S32 include: if the vegetation coverage of a certain area does not reach the expected level, increasing the planting density of vegetation or adjusting the planting species; if wind and sand activities are still frequent, strengthening sand fixation measures or adjusting the vegetation layout.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. This invention constructs a triple vegetation barrier at the edge of a dry lake basin, consisting of herbaceous plants, mixed herbaceous and shrubby plants, and mixed trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. This effectively reduces wind speed, blocks and fixes the movement of sand, significantly reduces the frequency of wind and sand disasters, and provides a solid safety guarantee for the surrounding area.

[0036] 2. This invention, through the design of transplanting holes and the covering with a water-retaining film, helps maintain soil moisture, creating more favorable conditions for plant growth. Simultaneously, the growth of plant roots and the decomposition of plant residues improve soil structure, increase soil organic matter content, enhance soil water and fertilizer retention capacity, and reduce soil erosion. Furthermore, the use of native plant transplanting and planting of native plants ensures better adaptation to the local environment, increases vegetation survival rates, and, through reasonable vegetation layout and planting density, helps form stable plant communities, promotes natural succession and restoration of vegetation, and enhances the stability and service functions of the regional ecosystem.

[0037] 3. This invention provides diverse habitats and food sources for different organisms through a diversified vegetation structure, attracting birds, insects and other organisms to inhabit the area, forming a more complex ecosystem food chain, promoting the development of biodiversity, and improving the stability and resistance to disturbance of the ecosystem. At the same time, the combination of multi-layered vegetation and soil improvement forms an interdependent and mutually reinforcing ecosystem. Plant growth can improve soil conditions, and the improved soil is conducive to plant growth and reproduction. Through this virtuous cycle, a more stable and sustainable ecosystem is constructed.

[0038] 4. This invention involves sowing psammophytes on shifting sand and covering it with gravel, combined with intermittent irrigation using mobile auxiliary irrigation equipment. This effectively stabilizes the surface shifting sand, preventing it from moving with the wind, reducing the harm of wind and sand activities to the surrounding environment, protecting important areas such as transportation routes and farmland. Furthermore, by constructing a plant-based sand-fixing grid and vegetation strips, a solid protective barrier is formed around the dry lake basin, reducing wind and sand damage to transportation facilities, lowering traffic safety hazards, and preventing wind and sand from covering farmland, ensuring the normal growth of crops, and mitigating the problem of soil salinization in farmland.

[0039] 5. This invention optimizes ecological restoration measures to a certain extent, reducing reliance on traditional, high-cost methods such as windbreaks requiring frequent maintenance and vegetation restoration that depend on large amounts of external water sources. This lowers the overall cost of ecological restoration and improves resource utilization efficiency. At the same time, the application of intelligent monitoring methods makes the ecological restoration process more scientific and efficient. Through real-time monitoring and data analysis of environmental parameters, problems can be identified and restoration strategies adjusted in a timely manner, ensuring that various restoration measures can quickly take effect and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of ecological restoration.

[0040] 6. This invention combines traditional ecological restoration techniques with modern intelligent monitoring technology, achieving refined control and efficient management of the ecological restoration process. It utilizes machine learning algorithms to predict wind and sand activity trends, providing a scientific basis for vegetation planting strategies and improving the scientific rigor and relevance of ecological restoration. Furthermore, this invention provides a demonstrative technical solution applicable to the restoration of dry lake basins and other similar ecologically fragile areas. Its operation is relatively simple, the technology is highly replicable, and it is easy to promote and apply in different regions, which is of great significance for promoting the continuous improvement of the regional ecological environment.

[0047] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0048] Reference Figure 1-3 As an embodiment of the present invention, a method for comprehensive ecological restoration and intelligent monitoring of a dry lake basin is provided, comprising:

[0049] I. Construction Preparation

[0050] 1.1 Ecological Survey and Planning: A detailed ecological survey of the dry lake basin and its surrounding areas will be conducted, including soil type, humidity, salinity, vegetation distribution, and wind and sand activity patterns. Based on the survey results, a scientific and reasonable ecological restoration plan will be formulated, determining the layout of transplanting pits, selection of plant species, width of the ring area, scope of quicksand treatment, and sand fixation measures in the upwind area.

[0051] 1.2 Material Preparation: According to the plan, prepare the necessary plant seedlings (native plants, native plants, and psammophytes), water-retaining film, topsoil, gravel, sand-fixing net, chemical sand-fixing agent, soil conditioner (water-retaining agent, microbial agent, fertilizer), environmental monitoring sensors (wind speed and direction sensors, soil sensors), intelligent management equipment, and mobile auxiliary irrigation equipment.

[0052] 1.3 Site clearing: The site clearing is carried out inside, around and outside the dry lake basin, including removing weeds, garbage and stone obstacles, to create good construction conditions for subsequent ecological restoration work;

[0053] II. Implementation of Ecological Restoration Methods

[0054] 2.1 Transplantation and propagation of native plants within the dry lake basin

[0055] 2.1.1 Making transplanting holes: On the surface of the dry lake basin, make multiple transplanting holes evenly according to the pre-designed layout. The size and depth of the transplanting holes should be determined according to the root size and growth habits of the native plants to ensure that the plants have enough growing space after transplanting.

[0056] 2.1.2 Transplanting with imported soil: The native plants in the dry lake basin are transplanted into multiple transplanting holes using imported soil. The imported soil should be similar to the original growing environment of the native plants to improve the survival rate of the plants. During the transplanting process, care should be taken to protect the root system of the plants and avoid damage.

[0057] 2.1.3 Covering with a water-retaining film: Cover the transplanting hole with a water-retaining film. The water-retaining film should be made of a material with good light transmittance, strong air permeability and good water retention performance. When covering, pay attention to pressing the edges of the film firmly to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. The water-retaining film reduces soil moisture evaporation, maintains soil moisture and creates favorable conditions for plant growth.

[0058] 2.1.4 Plant propagation: Propagation of transplanted native plants can be carried out by methods such as cuttings, division, and sowing to increase the number of plants, gradually expand the vegetation coverage area, and achieve sand control and edge locking within the dry lake basin.

[0059] 2.2 Construction of vegetation strips controlling sandy sediment at the edge of dry lake basins

[0060] 2.2.1 First Ring Area: On the inner side of the edge of the dry lake basin along the circumference, the width of the first ring area is determined to be 5-50m. Herbaceous plants such as alfalfa, sheep's hair, tamarisk, camel thorn, or reeds are planted in this area. Herbaceous plants can be planted in holes or trenches. The planting density is determined according to the plant species and growth habits. At the same time, grass squares are laid on the ground of the first ring area. The grass squares are woven from materials such as wheat straw and rice straw, and are square or rectangular in shape. They surround the herbaceous plants to fix the sand and reduce wind erosion.

[0061] 2.2.2 Second Ring Area: Outside the first ring area, the width of the second ring area is determined to be 10-50m. Shrubs and herbaceous plants are interspersed in this area to form the first living sand barrier. Shrubs can be selected from Haloxylon ammodendron, Caragana korshinskii, or Calligonum mongolicum. Herbaceous plants can continue to use some species from the first ring area or add other highly adaptable species. The planting density of shrubs should be greater than that of shrubs in the third ring area to form dense shrub thickets and improve the sand fixation effect. When planting, attention should be paid to the matching and layout of plants so that shrubs and herbaceous plants intertwine to form a stable vegetation community.

[0062] 2.2.3 Third Ring Area: Outside the second ring area, the width of the third ring area is determined to be 15-50m. In this area, trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants are interspersed to form a second living barrier. The trees can be poplar, jujube or pine, which are tall enough to form upper vegetation cover. The shrubs and herbaceous plants are planted under and around the trees to form a multi-layered vegetation structure, which enhances the ability to prevent wind and fix sand. The top of the shrubs should be close to the lower part of the tree crown to ensure the coordination and stability of the entire vegetation community.

[0063] 2.3 Management of shifting sand dunes on the periphery of the dry lake basin

[0064] 2.3.1 Sowing of psammophytic plants: On the shifting sands outside the dry lake basin, select psammophytic plants adapted to the shifting sand environment for sowing, such as Artemisia argyi, Artemisia argyi, and Ilex chinensis. Before sowing, the shifting sands should be properly prepared, such as leveling the land and removing stones. Sowing can be done by broadcasting or row sowing. The sowing amount and sowing depth should be determined according to the characteristics of the plant seeds and their growth habits.

[0065] 2.3.2 Gravel mulching: After sowing, evenly cover the shifting sand with a layer of gravel. The gravel particle size is generally 5-20mm, and the mulching thickness is 3-8cm. Gravel mulching can reduce wind erosion of the sand and reduce the mobility of the sand. At the same time, it can maintain soil moisture, which is conducive to the germination and growth of sand plant seeds.

[0066] 2.3.3 Mobile Assisted Irrigation: Intermittent irrigation is carried out on shifting sand land using mobile auxiliary irrigation equipment. The irrigation equipment can be flexibly arranged according to the area and shape of the shifting sand land, such as using mobile sprinkler irrigation equipment or drip irrigation equipment. The irrigation cycle and irrigation volume should be determined according to the water requirements of the sand plants and the soil moisture conditions. Generally, the irrigation frequency and irrigation volume are increased during the critical periods of seed germination and seedling growth to ensure the normal growth and development of the plants.

[0067] 2.4 Planting of sand-fixing trees and shrubs in the upwind area outside the dry lake basin

[0068] 2.4.1 Planting of Sand-Fixing Trees and Shrubs: In the upwind area outside the dry lake basin, select trees and shrubs with strong sand-fixing capabilities for planting, such as sand willow and tamarisk. Before planting, the land in this area should be properly prepared, such as deep plowing and fertilization, to improve soil conditions and increase the survival rate of plants. The planting density of trees and shrubs should be determined according to the growth habits and crown size of the plants. Generally, the spacing between trees is 3-5m and the spacing between shrubs is 1-2m. When planting, attention should be paid to the selection and treatment of seedlings. Select plants with well-developed root systems and strong seedlings, and carry out appropriate pruning and soaking treatment before planting to improve the survival rate of seedlings.

[0069] 2.4.2 Sowing of sand-fixing herbaceous plants: While planting sand-fixing trees and shrubs, sand-fixing herbaceous plants such as sand fern and sheep shrubs are sown on the ground. The sowing of herbaceous plants can be carried out simultaneously with the planting of trees and shrubs, or it can be done as a supplement after the planting of trees and shrubs. The sowing amount and sowing depth should be determined according to the characteristics of the grass species and the soil conditions.

[0070] 2.4.3 Sand-fixing netting: After planting sand-fixing trees and shrubs and sowing psammophytic herbaceous plants, cover the ground surface with sand-fixing netting. Nylon netting or polypropylene netting can be used. The mesh size is generally 3-5cm × 3-5cm. When covering, the sand-fixing netting should be close to the ground and fixed with soil clods, stones, etc. to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Covering with sand-fixing netting can effectively reduce the erosion of the soil by wind and sand, protect plant seeds and seedlings, and improve the growth and survival rate of vegetation.

[0071] III. Deployment of Intelligent Monitoring System

[0072] 3.1 Environmental monitoring sensor deployment: Various environmental monitoring sensors are rationally deployed within the dry lake basin ecological restoration area to achieve comprehensive and real-time monitoring of the restoration area. Wind speed and direction sensors are installed in various ecological restoration areas inside, at the edge and outside of the dry lake basin to monitor changes in wind speed and direction and assess the trend and intensity of wind and sand activity. Soil sensors are installed to monitor the physical and chemical properties of the soil and provide data support for vegetation growth.

[0073] 3.2 Installation and debugging of intelligent management module: Install the intelligent management module in the monitoring center or management station of the ecological restoration area, and connect it to various environmental monitoring sensors through wired or wireless communication networks to realize real-time data transmission and reception. Debug and configure the intelligent management module to ensure that it can operate normally and accurately process monitoring data.

[0074] 3.3 Integration and Operation of Intelligent Monitoring System: The system integrates environmental monitoring sensors, intelligent management modules, and related data transmission equipment to form a complete intelligent monitoring system. During system operation, the intelligent management module collects and stores data from the environmental monitoring sensors in real time, and performs data cleaning and preprocessing to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. By analyzing historical data, the system uses statistical models and machine learning algorithms to predict the trend of wind and sand activity in the future and generates corresponding wind and sand prevention strategies based on the prediction results, such as adjusting the planting density and types of vegetation and increasing sand fixation measures. At the same time, based on the real-time monitored soil property data, the intelligent management module selects suitable vegetation species for planting in the soil improvement area and generates corresponding plant planting strategies.

[0075] IV. Evaluation of Repair Results and Adjustment of Strategies

[0076] 4.1 Regular Assessment: The intelligent management module conducts regular assessments of the ecological restoration effect of the dry lake basin according to the set assessment cycle. The assessment indicators include vegetation coverage, soil improvement, reduction of wind and sand activity, and changes in biodiversity. Relevant assessment data are obtained through various methods such as on-site monitoring, remote sensing monitoring, and sensor data collection, and then comprehensively analyzed and evaluated.

[0077] 4.2 Strategy Adjustment: Based on the results of periodic assessments, the intelligent management module automatically adjusts the ecological restoration strategy. When the vegetation coverage of a certain area does not reach the expected target, the planting density of the vegetation in that area is increased or the planting species are adjusted, and plants more suitable for local environmental conditions are selected for replanting. When wind and sand activities are still relatively frequent, sand fixation measures in that area are strengthened, such as increasing the area of ​​straw checkerboard laying, increasing the coverage density of sand fixation nets, or planting more plants with stronger sand fixation capabilities. When the soil improvement effect is not obvious, the type and amount of soil conditioner are adjusted, or other soil improvement measures are adopted, such as deep plowing and planting green manure plants, to improve soil quality and promote vegetation growth.

[0078] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
