AI Technical Summary
Traditional chestnut orchard management practices lead to soil erosion and non-point source pollution from chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides used for pest and disease control. This is particularly problematic in northern regions with low rainfall and sparse multi-layered vegetation, impacting ecosystem stability and economic benefits.
Constructing a chestnut-ephemeral medicinal forest complex ecosystem involves planting shade-loving, fibrous-rooted epimedium under chestnut forests. Utilizing the ecological and biological characteristics of epimedium, combined with water and fertilizer management and pest control, a flexible and reinforced soil structure is formed to protect the forest surface.
It effectively curbs soil erosion in chestnut orchards, increases economic income per unit area of forest land, provides high-quality Chinese medicinal products, and promotes a win-win situation for ecological protection and economic development.
