Natural conditions in Richard town

The terrain is high in the south and low in the north, with hills in the south and plains in the north. The average elevation of southern hills 1 16.2m, the highest point 153.6m: the elevation of low-lying land is 73.05m..

The southern part of the mountain range is located at the end of Taiyi Mountain, with winding mountains and ravines. The hills (ridges) over 100 meters in the territory include Wangyaoshan, Shimashan and Tushan, among which Shimashan is the highest, with an altitude of 153.6 meters.

There are three rivers: Jiaohe, Longhui and Huangjiahe. Jiaohe River originates in Jiaonan City, flows through Qianzhuchengou, Houzhuchengou, Sunjiawa, Xuejiahe Village and Liangcun Village, and enters Puji Town in Hou Liang Village. Longhui River, named after its twists and turns, originated in Jiaonan City, with Hongqi Reservoir and Qiaocun Reservoir in the upper reaches, flowing through Wang Jiaqiao Village, Xujiaqiao Village, Liu Xinzhuang, Huangjialuo, Sunjiazhuang, dongjiacun, Cuijiazhuang, Yangjiazhuang, Xiaojiacun, Huaishudi and Tanjiacun, and merging into Jiaohe River in Puji Town. Huangjiahe, which originated in Jiaonan City, has Huangjiahe Reservoir in the upper reaches, flows through Hanjiazhuang, Richards, Hebei, Qiantang, Houtang, Gangouzhuang, Shajiazhuang, Hujiacun, Nanlou, Tanjiacun and Liujiaxiaozhuang, and joins Jiaohe in Puji Town. There are two small (I) reservoirs in China, of which Hongqi Reservoir has a storage capacity of 4.3 million cubic meters and Huangjiahe Reservoir has a storage capacity of 2.75 million cubic meters.

Soil The land resources in this town are divided into 7 first-class categories, 27 second-class categories and 1 1 third-class categories. Brown soil, tidal brown soil, tidal soil and black soil in Jiang Sha are distributed in sequence from the southern hilly area to the northern plain. In the hilly area of south China, the mountain slope is large, the soil layer is thin, the soil development is incomplete, the erosion on the top of the mountain is serious, the natural vegetation is few and the coverage rate is low. The thickness of the soil layer in the middle of the mountain is generally 20-30 cm, with a lot of gravel. In rainy season, soil erosion is serious, water and fertilizer conservation performance is poor, and the ecological environment is relatively fragile. The mountain root soil layer is thick, but the ravines are criss-crossing, the plots are seriously cut, and farming is inconvenient, which affects agricultural production to some extent. The Jiaohe River Basin in the west has fertile soil and good water permeability, which is suitable for vegetable growth. The soil layer in the north is deep and fertile, but the irrigation conditions are poor.

Vegetation Forest vegetation mainly includes poplar, Robinia pseudoacacia, Sophora japonica, willow and other tree species, while shrub species mainly include Sophora japonica and wax strip, and the forest coverage rate is 18%. Pinus massoniana, shrubs and weeds are mixed alternately in the southern hilly area, and some areas are artificial afforestation and fruit forest; The northern plains are mostly green spaces formed by artificial economic forests, artificial gardens, artificial trees and artificial flowers and plants. There are apples, peaches, persimmons, ginkgo, grapes and so on. Among the agricultural plants, there are wheat, corn, soybean, sweet potato, millet, sorghum and so on. Cash crops mainly include flowers, seedlings, vegetables, peanuts, peppers and so on. Agricultural planting coverage rate reached 100%.

Total land area of natural resources 1 1. 1 10,000 mu, of which cultivated land is 6 1 10,000 mu. There are 20,000 mu of cultivated land and vegetable fields, 3,800 mu of orchard land, and the rest are grain fields or other cash crops fields. There are still 150 hectares of barren hills to be developed and utilized. Annual average temperature 12.8℃, frost-free period 190 days, annual average sunshine of 2785 hours and annual average precipitation of 751mm. Groundwater resources are abundant, mainly distributed in the Quaternary alluvium on the east side of Jiaohe River, with good water quality.

The wild animals in China mainly include rabbits, hedgehogs, mice, weasels, bats, sparrows, magpies, owls, dragonflies, spiders, cicadas, mantises, bugs, crickets, mosquitoes, flies, locusts, moths, frogs, toads, snakes, lizards and geckos.

The wild plants in the territory mainly include: bitter herbs, shepherd's purse, grey vegetables, Kochia scoparia, cornflower, wild lily, Vitex negundo, Lycium barbarum, jujube, plantain, dandelion, platycodon grandiflorum, tribulus terrestris, wormwood, Celosia cristata, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Artemisia capillaris and other roadside valleys.

Aquatic resources mainly include: carp, crucian carp, grass carp, bighead carp, silver carp, pomfret, whitebait in Taihu Lake, loach, turtle, shrimp and mussel.
