DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1: Deep-rooted tree species application This example takes pine (Pinus spp.) as a typical representative of deep-rooted tree species to illustrate the specific implementation of the present application in detail. Pine is a deep-rooted tree species with well-developed taproots, and deep absorbing roots can reach below 1.5m, with a medium level of tolerance to cremated remains (tolerance coefficient K=5).

[0027] 1. Container selection and preparation Natural granite is chosen as the container material, which has the characteristics of strong durability and good weathering resistance. A 3L cavity for holding ashes is formed by precise cavity processing, and the smoothness of the inner wall reaches Ra0.8. The container is designed as a cylinder with a diameter of 20cm, a height of 25cm, and a wall thickness of 2cm.

[0028] 2. Burial parameter design According to the distribution characteristics of pine root system, the following burial parameters are determined: Burial depth: 30cm (avoiding the dense absorption root zone in the surface layer); Horizontal projection area: 0.08㎡; Distance from the base of the trunk: 1.8m (to avoid damaging the main support roots); Distribution mode: evenly distribute 4 burial points along the circumference of the trunk.

[0029] 3. Sealing process A cement-based sealing material with a water-cement ratio of 0.35 is used, and its specific ratio is as follows: 42.5 grade ordinary portland cement: 100 parts; Composite waterproofing agent: 5 parts (containing silicone waterproofing components); Quartz sand (40-70 mesh): 60 parts; Water reducing agent: 0.8 parts; Sealing construction is divided into two layers, the first layer is the base sealing with a thickness of 1cm, and the second layer is the surface sealing with a thickness of 0.5cm.
