The root systems of mixed forests are more developed, and their effect in retaining water and preventing wind and fixing sand is greater;

Mixed forests have thick leaf canopies and more litter, with more fallen leaves per unit area, and can improve soil fertility better than pure forests;

Mixed forests have many species and a better habitat, with more natural enemies of pests and diseases, thereby effectively inhibiting the reproduction and spread of pests and diseases;
