林地调查说明 Review of Forest Survey 

2022年10-11月,项目组计划对2007-2022年期间栽植的块林地逐一进行抽样调查,但由于暴雪及内蒙古疫情的严重影响,在2022年度仅完成了2010-2021年部分林地的抽样调查。林地调查开展7天后不得不中止,期间共测量林地15块,样地106个,林木3241棵。测量比例占林木总数量的0.12%。项目组计划于2023年3月对2016-2019年林地进行补充测量,而2013-2014、2017年林地由于道路积水,偶遇强沙尘天气中断,未采集到有效数据。补充调查测量林地6块,样地67块,共测量2250棵。2022年度测量周期的总测量林木达到5491棵,测量比例为0.2%。

During October and November in 2022, MTP team had planed to conduct forest survey in the forest which we planted from 2007 to 2022. But due to the heavy snow and the large-scale lockdowns in Inner Mongolia, our team had only completed the forest survey in a few forests that were planted from 2010 to 2021. There left only 7 days for the team to conduct the survey. The survey covered 15 forest plots, 106 sample sites and 3241 sample trees. The survey ratio was 0.12% among total number of the trees planted by MTP. The team restarted the forest survey in March, 2023, before the growing season. The forest sites planted in 2013, 2014 and 2017 weren't surveyed due to the flooded roads and standstorm strikes. The spring survey covered 6 forest plots, 67 sample sites and 2250 sample trees. The total sample size of 2022 forest survey was 5491 trees, 0.2% among all the trees.

林地概况 Forest Basic Information

截至2022年,MTP项目于内蒙古通辽市和鄂尔多斯市共栽植40块林地,绿化面积达37519.15亩(23.45平方公里),栽植各树种共计2727979棵。其中,2022年新增一块林地,即2022-1,林地面积为961亩。

To date, MTP has successfully planted 2,727,979 trees on 40 forest plots, covering an area of 37,519.15 Mu (23.45 km2) in Inner Mongolia. In 2022, a new plot of 961 Mu was planted, marked as plot 2022-1. More details are given in the graph below. (1 Hectare=15 Mu)

栽植树种 Type of Trees

2022年度,在鄂尔多斯市杭锦旗栽植了花棒、沙枣10万余株,但由于疫情没能开展秋季存活情况调查,暂不纳入计算。 截止2022年,栽植树种8种,分别为:杂交杨树(通林5,哲林4,白城杨,小黑杨等)1年和2年生裸根苗;文冠果播种苗;五角枫播种苗;樟子松3年生容器苗;榆树2年生苗;柠条(1年生容器苗),柳树2年生苗,黄菠萝2年生苗以及云杉3年生苗。 其中,杨树和樟子松依旧为主要造林树种,分别达总造林数量的54%和37%,其他树种占比不足10%。

In 2022, we've planted more than 100,000 Hedysarum scoparium and Elaeagnus angustifolia in Hangjin Qi, Ordos, Inner Mongolia. But we weren't able to conduct the forest survey in the autumn, so the number of surviving saplings wasn't counted yet and the data thus was not included in the followings. To date, we’ve planted 8 types of tree species in MTP forests, including 1-year-old and 2-year-old hybrid poplar bare-root seedlings, yellow horn seedlings, maple (Acer Mono) seedlings, 3-year-old container pine tree seedlings, 2-year-old elm seedlings, 1-year-old Caragana Microphylla container seedlings, 2-year-old willow seedlings, 2-year-old Phellodendron amurense seedlings, and 3-year-old spruce seedlings. Poplars and pines made up for the majority of the trees planted, the percentages being 54% and 37% respectively, and other tree species combined less than 10%.

林地保存率 Forest Survival Rate

2022年秋季和2023年春季项目组对2010-2021年部分林地的抽样调查,历时11天,测量林地21块,样地173个,总计测量林木5491棵。测量的指标包括:保存率、树高、地径、胸径、冠幅、株行距等。经调查测量,2022年度全林地保存率均值为73.83%

MTP team conducted surveys in the autumn of 2022 and in the following spring of 2023 on 21 forest plots, which were planted from 2010 to 2021. The surveys last 11 days, covering 173 sample sites and 5491 tree samples. The survey measurements included the survival rate, height, basal diameter, diameter at breast height, crown width and spacing in the rows. Based on our survey results, the overall survival rate of the sampled MTP forests in 2022 was 73.83%.

Fig.4 Survival rates over the years 

2022年度通辽地区夏季降雨较多。气候条件有利于林木的生长,使得林地保存情况较往年好一些,但部分林地也由于地势较低,被浸泡的面积较多,导致了一定数量的死亡。整体来说多雨的气候保证了林地生长的基本稳定。已经测量的林地保存率基本维持在70%左右。

In 2022, rainfall was very frequent in the summer in Tongliao. The rainy weather was beneficial for the trees to grow, so most of the forests were preserved better than before. Some forests was flooded and a large part of the ground was soaked. This cased the death of some trees. Generally speaking, the rainy weather made sure that the forests mostly grow well. The measured trees in these forests maintained a survival rate of around 70%.

其中,2012-7地势复杂,放牧的情况较普遍,生长不均一;2012-4为杨树樟子松混交林,樟子松由于频繁间种导致保存情况较差,从而使得整体数据偏低。2019-1保存率基本未发生变化,主要由于地势复杂导致的栽植差异。

Among the sampled forest, the trees in the 2012-7 forest plot grew unevenly because of the consistent grazing. For the poplars and pines in the 2012-4 forest plot, the pines were preserved rather poorly than poplars, which was caused by the frequent inter-planting between pine tree lines. This affected the average survival rate. The survial rate of 2019 forest didn't increase much, due to the complicated terrain.

As shown in the figure above, the survival rate of most plots is higher than 60%, basically reaching our expectation.

 

风速测量 Wind Velocity Measurement

科尔沁沙地属于多风地区,风携带地表颗粒形成风沙流,吹蚀地表形成沙漠化,而植被可以有效的降低风速,吸收风能并拦截部分颗粒,调节风况,也是植树造林非常重要的生态功能之一。为了能够真实准确的评估百万植树计划人工林的生态功能,在2022年度8月开始选取七种不同的下垫面(植被类型),在固定地点进行不同高度的长期测量,积累相关数据以待后续分析。

Korqin Sandy land lies in very windy areas. The wind carries the particles on the ground, turning into wind-blown sand. Wind erosion leads to desertification. The vegetation coverage on the ground can help to decrease the wind speed, absorb the wind power and stop some wind-blown particles. Regulating the wind is an important ecological function of afforestation. To evaluate the ecological functions of the MTP forests, our teams started measuring wind velocity in 7 different kinds of grounds (depending on the vegetation coverage) by measuring the wind speed in different heights on the same sample spots. The measurements will be used for further analysis.

测量结果发现乔木和灌木很好的起到了降低风速,改善风况的生态功能,尤其是在风沙流层(0-0.3m)的效果显著,能够较有效的阻挡风沙侵蚀。项目组将继续累积经验、改进测量方法,积累更多数据进行分析评估。

The results showed that trees and shrubs both helped decreasing the wind speed, which is regarded as the ecological function of regulating the wind, easing the wind erosion, especially at the height of wind-blown sand level (0-0.3m). Our team will continue to include this in the forest survey, to improve the methods and collect more data for further analysis.

总结 Conclusion

2022年度和2021年度的情况类似,大部分林地体现出较好的稳定性,较频繁的降水为林木的生长提供了良好的条件,但也有少部分林地出现了内涝等情况影响了保存情况。整体上来说各个林地的生长相对健康。

The 2022 survey had similar results as 2021. Most of the forests are stable. The rainfall provided great conditions for the trees to grow in the past year, but a few forests were affected by the flood. The forests were generally growing healthy.
