Rhododendron is a deciduous shrub of Rhododendron in Ericaceae. Rhododendron Ardisia is an acidic indicator plant, which can only be naturally distributed in acidic soil. It is difficult to find the trace of Rhododendron Ardisia in limestone Shan Ye.
Ardisia rhododendron is naturally fond of shade and is suitable for growing in a semi-shade environment. Therefore, Ardisia rhododendron is common in sparse undergrowth vegetation and forest edge, as well as in the remaining secondary forest. In some trees with neat forests, azaleas only exist in the form of subsurface vegetation.
Rhododendron is suitable for growing in semi-shaded environment, but its flower buds can't reproduce without proper lighting conditions. Ardisia rhododendron, which is shaded under the forest all the year round, does not bloom or rarely blooms, and the lighting conditions are acceptable, or after human activities improve the lighting conditions, Ardisia rhododendron will bloom in large numbers, which is why clusters of beautiful Ardisia rhododendron can be seen in forest margins and glades, but rarely seen in densely forested Shan Ye.
Rhododendron, as a common native shrub species, has played a certain role in the protection and restoration of the ecological environment and is an important embodiment of the biodiversity of forest plants. However, azalea is an indicator plant of soil acidity, but it is not an indicator plant of ecological environment. On the contrary, the more azaleas there are, the brighter the flowers will be. This only shows that there are many azaleas here, which are suitable for azaleas to grow, but it does not mean that the vegetation here is rich and the ecological environment is the best.
A good ecological environment is a systematic index, which not only refers to the extraordinary abundance of forest plants dominated by tree species, but also includes the reasonable structure of animals and microorganisms. Through the survival game, plants, animals and microorganisms form an interdependent, balanced, mutually restrictive and stable ecological community.
From this point of view, a good ecological environment can be understood from the aspect of plants, at least the vegetation dominated by tree species is extremely rich, and this environment is not suitable for the growth of rhododendron. Ardisia japonica will grow well only in sparse stands and dense forest margins, and Ardisia japonica is more common, which is not necessarily a good ecological environment.
Understand the physiological characteristics of rhododendron, and clarify the relationship between rhododendron and ecological environment, not to say that rhododendron is useless. "I cherish azaleas the most, and the spring breeze blows different climbs." Yingshanhong is deeply loved by the public because of its red flowers and unrestrained enthusiasm. Since ancient times, it has been the object of praise by literati, and scenic spots in many places have become the punching places of network celebrities because of the mountains and rivers of Yingshanhong. So how to make use of the characteristics of rhododendron to artificially create a leisure attraction with rhododendron as the purpose tree species?
In fact, this question is very simple. Just do these three things well.
The first is site selection. Site selection needs to choose commercial forests or woodlands with good ecological environment, rich wild rhododendron resources and relatively flat terrain, which are suitable for development and construction, and do not touch the ecological red line;
The second is clear irrigation. Only rhododendrons are kept in the selected mountain field, and other plants are removed (some characteristic tree species or plants can also be kept moderately), and tree-lined paths are built according to the distribution of rhododendrons and the mountain situation;
The third is pruning and replanting management. Moderately prune azaleas preserved after irrigation. According to the present situation of natural distribution, the rhododendrons in dense areas are transplanted to sparse areas, and the landscape at the nodes is mainly created, with certain safety protection facilities, rest tables and chairs and sightseeing pavilions. Generally, after 2-3 years of management and protection, when the azaleas in the mountains and plains are in full bloom, the punching places of network celebrities will gradually form.
"I cherish azaleas the most, and the spring breeze blows different climbs." The people's love for Yingshanhong is a lingering complex, not only because the design of Yingshanhong is brilliant red and auspicious, which conforms to people's aesthetics, but also because Yingshanhong blooms in spring and is suitable for people's leisure travel. Under the background of rural revitalization, all localities are striving to build rural tourism platforms. It is better to make use of the local resources of Yingshanhong to create a leisure attraction with local characteristics, which will definitely become a punching place for online celebrities.
