Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of soil improvement, and in particular relates to a soil improvement method for photovoltaic power generation fields suitable for use in high-altitude Gobi areas. Background Art

[0002] The Gobi region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau suffers from extreme climatic conditions, including high altitude, drought, and strong radiation, resulting in poor soil quality, low organic matter content, and poor water-holding capacity, severely hindering vegetation restoration. In recent years, the construction of large-scale solar and wind power generation systems has brought new opportunities for energy development, but it has also posed numerous challenges to the local ecological environment, particularly vegetation. The construction of photovoltaic power stations and wind farms has altered the local climate and soil habitat, resulting in a decrease in vegetation species diversity and coverage, which is detrimental to maintaining the functional diversity of desert grassland ecosystems.

[0003] Currently, soil improvement technologies for solar and wind power generation systems in the region are still incomplete. Effective methods that comprehensively consider the local "three highs" (high cold, high altitude, and high radiation) climate conditions and the characteristics of vegetation and soil are lacking. Existing technologies are inadequate in selecting suitable plant species, optimizing vegetation placement, and improving soil to promote vegetation growth, making it difficult to achieve the coordinated development of power generation systems and the ecological environment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues with existing technologies, the present invention provides a soil improvement method for photovoltaic power plants in high-altitude Gobi regions. This method utilizes ecological mats, organic fertilizers, and microbial agents to improve soil in different areas of the photovoltaic power plant, effectively enhancing soil water and fertilizer retention. Furthermore, the method selects suitable plant species and optimizes vegetation configuration to promote soil improvement and achieve the coordinated development of power generation and ecology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is: A soil improvement method for photovoltaic power generation fields in high-altitude Gobi areas, comprising the following steps: (1) Soil pretreatment; (2) Laying the substrate on the pretreated soil; (3) Select plant combinations for mixed planting; (4) Regular irrigation and maintenance.

[0006] In step (1), the soil is pre-treated by leveling the target area, removing gravel, and plowing the soil. Preferably, the soil is plowed to a depth of 20-30 cm.

[0007] In step (2), the substrate is any one of an ecological blanket layer, an organic fertilizer layer and a microbial agent layer.

[0008] The ecological blanket is a coconut fiber ecological blanket, and the thickness of the coconut fiber ecological blanket is ≥5mm and the porosity is ≥60%.

[0009] The organic fertilizer is decomposed sheep manure, the organic matter content of the decomposed sheep manure is ≥40%, and the application amount is 3-5 kg / m².

[0010] The microbial agent is one or more of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria or Bacillus subtilis; preferably, the microbial agent is a composite agent composed of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus gelatinosa and Bacillus licheniformis in a mass ratio of (3-5): (2-4): (2-4), the three bacteria have complementary functions, Bacillus subtilis is the basic functional bacteria (organic matter decomposition + microecological stabilization), the proportion of which should be dominant, at 3-5 parts; Bacillus gelatinosa (phosphate solubilization + water retention) and Bacillus licheniformis (stress resistance) are synergistic functional bacteria, the proportion of which can be fine-tuned according to the local soil phosphorus content and the degree of drought (for example, in phosphorus-deficient areas, Bacillus gelatinosa can be increased to 3-4 parts, and in extremely arid areas, Bacillus licheniformis can be increased to 3-4 parts), thereby ensuring the stability of the core functions and enhancing the adaptability to microhabitat differences.

[0011] The effective viable bacteria count of the composite microbial agent is ≥2×10 8 CFU / g, the water dilution ratio is 300-500 times, and the application amount is 50-100 g / m².

[0012] In step (3), the plant combination is selected from a combination of any four plants selected from alfalfa, wheat grass, Astragalus membranaceus, Kentucky bluegrass, Fescue, and Rhizoma Cistanches.

[0013] The sowing density of the mixed sowing is 25-35g / m².

[0014] The plant combination includes 1-2 parts by weight of alfalfa, 1-2 parts by weight of wheatgrass, 1-2 parts by weight of Astragalus membranaceus, 1-1.5 parts by weight of bluegrass, 1-2 parts by weight of fescue, and 1-1.5 parts by weight of oxtail sedge. This is because: (1) Legumes (alfalfa and Astragalus membranaceus) are the core of soil nitrogen improvement and should be in a dominant proportion to meet the needs of improving poor soils; (2) Gramineae / shrubs (wheatgrass, fescue, bluegrass, and oxtail sedge) are responsible for windbreak and sand fixation and rapid coverage. Their proportion is slightly lower to avoid competing with legumes for resources while ensuring the stability of the vegetation community.

[0015] In step (4), the irrigation is carried out once a week with a water volume of 5-10 L / m², and the maintenance is continued for 3 months.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a soil improvement method for photovoltaic power plants in high-altitude Gobi regions. By first laying a substrate on the pretreated soil, then selecting corresponding plant combinations for mixed sowing according to the habitat types of different regions, and finally performing regular irrigation and maintenance, the soil water and fertilizer retention performance of photovoltaic power plants in the Gobi region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau can be effectively improved, soil improvement and vegetation restoration can be promoted, and the coordinated development of power generation and ecology can be achieved. Experiments have shown that after restoration using the method of the present invention, the soil moisture content is relatively increased by up to 17.85% (compared to before restoration). In summary, the method of the present invention is applicable to soil improvement and ecological restoration in plateau Gobi regions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The soil moisture content before and after soil remediation is shown in Table 1, and the increase rate of soil moisture content after remediation is calculated using the formula: (soil moisture content after remediation - soil moisture content before remediation) * 100% / soil moisture content before remediation.

[0023] Table 1 - Performance test results of soil improvement using different schemes From Table 1, we can see that the comprehensive scheme of "organic fertilizer treatment" combined with "alfalfa + adansonia sinensis + fescue + smilax glabra" can be adopted.
