The invention discloses a
system and method for improving desert by transporting
volcanic ash through foreign trade return no-load transport capacity, and belongs to the technical field of ecological restoration and cross-border logistics cooperation. The
system comprises an overseas
volcanic ash processing module, a return logistics integration module, a
multimodal transport module, a desert improvement construction module, an
ecological monitoring module and an income closed-loop module. According to the method, overseas high-quality
volcanic ash resources are locked, foreign trade return no-load transport capacity in China is integrated, volcanic ash is transported to the northwest desert area at low cost through
marine transportation-railway multimodal transportation, the volcanic ash and sandy soil are mixed and improved according to the depth of 15-25 cm and the proportion of 15%-20%, water-saving
irrigation and
vegetation reconstruction are matched, and desert-to-ecological
land use and ploughing are achieved. According to the method,
mass idle capacity can be activated, the
desertification control cost can be greatly reduced, the
soil quality can be rapidly improved, five strategic values of
ecology, grains, logistics,
carbon sink and industry are integrated, and the method is an original, subversive and sustainable important technical scheme suitable for the
national level.
