Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ecological environment restoration, and particularly relates to a moss-microorganism synergistic nitrogen fixation biomimetic re-greening method and system for a drought-resistant mine rock slope. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mining is an important way of resource development, but long-term open mining will form a large number of bare rock slopes. The surface of such slopes is hard and has no natural soil layer, and because the rock weathering degree is low and the structure is dense, the water holding capacity is very poor (usually the saturated water content is <10%), the organic matter content is very low (<0.5%), and at the same time, the matrix is easily stripped and lost (the matrix stripping rate of the traditional guest soil method is as high as 30-50%) under the influence of alternating heavy rain and drought, becoming a difficult place for ecological restoration.

[0003] Traditional ecological restoration technologies for rock slopes mainly include the following types:

[0004] (1) Guest soil spraying technology: the soil is artificially transported to cover the slope, and grass seeds are sprayed to realize greening. However, this technology relies on external soil supply, and the transportation cost is high; and the rock surface has poor adhesion with the guest soil, and matrix stripping easily occurs under heavy rain, and the water in the guest soil quickly evaporates in the drought period, so the survival rate of vegetation is usually less than 40% (especially in arid areas with annual rainfall <400 mm).

[0005] (2) Vegetation concrete technology: cement, aggregate, plant fiber and grass seeds are mixed and sprayed to form a soil-like matrix. However, the strong alkalinity (pH>9) of cement will inhibit plant growth, and the hardened matrix has poor air permeability, which is difficult to support microbial activity, and long-term use will easily lead to soil compaction.

[0006] (3) Single biological restoration technology: such as simply transplanting moss or inoculating nitrogen-fixing bacteria. However, moss is sensitive to water and easily dehydrated and dies on the dry rock surface; single nitrogen-fixing bacteria (such as rhizobium) need to rely on symbiosis with host plants, and the nitrogen fixation efficiency is very low (only 5-10 mg / m² / d) in the initial stage of the rock slope without vegetation.

[0007] (4) Chemical nitrogen fixation supplement: nitrogen deficiency is alleviated by applying chemical nitrogen fertilizer such as urea and ammonium salt. However, chemical fertilizer is easily lost with runoff, not only causing resource waste, but also polluting surrounding water bodies (such as causing river eutrophication).

[0008] In addition, the existing technology generally lacks dynamic regulation and control ability for the restoration process, and the traditional method mostly adopts a one-time construction and regular artificial irrigation mode, which cannot adjust the maintenance strategy in real time according to the soil moisture and microbial activity, resulting in problems such as water waste or deficiency in the drought period, and microbial inactivation due to sudden environmental changes, further prolonging the restoration period (the traditional method usually needs 12-18 months to achieve more than 50% vegetation coverage).

[0009] In summary, the ecological restoration of rock slope urgently needs a comprehensive technical system that takes into account drought resistance, water conservation, efficient nitrogen fixation, substrate stabilization, and intelligent control, to solve the three core problems of drought stress, nitrogen deficiency, and slope instability, and to shorten the restoration period and reduce environmental risks.
