Rural Greening Must Be Advanced Scientifically According to Local Conditions
In recent years, when carrying out village greening in rural areas, the author has found that some places blindly emphasize large landscapes and follow the "faddish" phenomenon of keeping up with cities. Moreover, some county and city leaders, when inspecting developed areas, see that certain local green plants are very unique and, without considering whether the local area is suitable for introduction, order them to be copied and replaced exactly as they are. They fail to realize that many green plants are not necessarily suitable for introduction. They spend a lot of money, yet after several years the plants still have not grown much, and some even die in large numbers due to not adapting to the soil and climate. There are also places keen on planting "hedges" and lawns, where maintenance costs are very high, and if not maintained they look very unsightly. As a result, limited by manpower and financial resources, weeds grow together with the "hedges," and the effect is not good. The author therefore calls for this: blind introduction is harmful and without benefit, and rural greening should still be adapted to local conditions.
