Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ecological greening structure technology, and in particular relates to an ecological greening structure for areas with little rainfall. Background Technology

[0002] In arid regions, plants face extremely harsh natural conditions, and their survival challenges are not caused by a single factor, but rather by a complex interplay of factors including climate, soil, and the plant's own characteristics. Among these, the rapid evaporation of water and the survival crisis caused by water shortage constitute the core contradiction of this predicament.

[0003] Areas with low rainfall are often accompanied by intense sunshine and high temperatures, with significant diurnal temperature variations, causing soil moisture to evaporate rapidly as it warms up during the day. Even when rainfall occurs, the dry soil structure makes it difficult to retain moisture effectively, and rainwater is often quickly lost as surface runoff, failing to penetrate into the deeper soil layers where plant roots are located. This vicious cycle of "rainfall-evaporation" keeps soil moisture content at extremely low levels for extended periods, making it difficult for plant roots to absorb the water necessary for life.

[0004] While plants have evolved various water-saving mechanisms to adapt to arid environments, such as waxy leaves to reduce transpiration and deep root systems to explore underground water sources, extreme conditions in arid regions still exceed the tolerance threshold of most plants. Sustained water shortage initially causes leaf stomata to close to reduce water loss, but this defensive response inhibits photosynthesis, thereby weakening the plant's growth potential. If the water shortage persists, the increased cell sap concentration triggers osmotic stress, damaging cell membrane structure, leading to plasmolysis, and ultimately causing leaf wilting, stem shriveling, and even the death of the entire plant. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem in arid regions where intense sunlight and high temperatures, along with significant diurnal temperature variations, cause soil moisture to evaporate rapidly as temperatures rise during the day. Even when rainfall occurs, the dry soil structure struggles to retain moisture, and rainwater is quickly lost as surface runoff, failing to penetrate the deeper soil layers where plant roots are located. This vicious cycle of "rainfall-evaporation" keeps soil moisture levels consistently extremely low, making it difficult for plant roots to absorb the water necessary for life. Therefore, this invention proposes an ecological greening structure for arid regions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an ecological greening structure for low-rainfall areas, comprising:

[0007] An anti-evaporation water tank is provided with a breathable plate, a soil layer is provided on the breathable plate, and a planting layer is provided on the soil layer.

[0008] A plurality of plants, the roots of which extend sequentially through the planting layer, the soil layer and the air-permeable plate to the anti-evaporation water tank, wherein a gravel layer is provided on the planting layer.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The soil-bearing layer is made of non-woven fabric.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The breathable plate is provided with a number of breathable holes, and the plant roots extend through the planting layer, the soil layer and the breathable holes into the anti-evaporation water tank.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The breathable panel is made of plastic or stainless steel.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The anti-evaporation water tank is provided with several water inlets, and the plant roots extend from the water inlets to the bottom of the anti-evaporation water tank.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The anti-evaporation water tank is equipped with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to an inlet pipe, and a water valve is installed on the inlet pipe. The outlet is connected to a level gauge.

[0019] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. In this utility model, by setting an anti-evaporation water tank at the bottom of the underground layer, laying a breathable board on the anti-evaporation water tank, setting a soil layer on the breathable board, setting a planting layer on the soil layer, planting many plants on the planting layer, and extending the plant roots into the water outlet of the anti-evaporation water tank, the roots of the plants can always be in contact with the water source, while ensuring that the water in the anti-evaporation water tank will not evaporate, thereby improving the degree of ecological greening.

[0021] 2. In this utility model, an inlet and an outlet can be set in the anti-evaporation water tank. The inlet is connected to an inlet pipe and a water valve is installed on the inlet pipe. A level gauge is installed at the outlet. The level gauge can display the water level in the anti-evaporation water tank. When there is no water in the anti-evaporation water tank, the water valve can be opened to add water at any time to ensure the water needs of the plants.

[0022] 3. In this utility model, the design of the anti-evaporation water tank ensures that the plants on the upper part have the same amount of water contact, preventing some plants from drying out due to lack of water. For large-area planting, several anti-evaporation water tanks can be connected together at the bottom, and the roots of the green plants can be extended to the water inlet. This structure eliminates the need to water each plant individually. When watering is needed, simply open the water valve to supply water to the roots to complete the water supply for a large area of ​​plants. At the same time, observe the level gauge to avoid overwatering. Attached Figure Description
