2018年，MTP项目与内蒙古通辽市科尔沁左翼后旗林业局合作，在3个沙荒地进行了生态修复，造林树种包括樟子松、五角枫、柳树、黄波椤、小叶锦鸡儿等，其中主体造林以樟子松为主，道路防风带以五角枫等为主，内部沙化区域栽植了部分宵夜锦鸡儿。其中，穿插了部分柳树、黄波椤等。

In year 2018, cooperating with the Forestry Bureau in Keerqinzuoyihou Qi, Tongliao, MTP contributed to the ecological restoration in three plots of sandy land by planting a mix of Pinus sylvestris L. var. mongolica Litv. (scotch pines), Acer mono (maples), willows, phellodendron amurens and caragana microphylla Lam. The main species is scotch pine. Maple trees were planted as the windbreak. In part of the desertified land inside, caraganas were planted. Willows and p. amurenses spread out over the plot.

该林地南侧靠近砂石路，主要为补足往年缺损苗木的补植林地。道路两侧以阔叶乔木为主，如五角枫/杨树/榆树等。内部以樟子松为主，4年生苗木；内部存在一定数量的杨树；靠近道路一侧的樟子松部分为2017年栽植，苗木较大。成活率为85%，平均树高0.92米，最高树高3米，平均地径2.33厘米，最大地径4.5厘米。

The south side of this plot is near the sandstone road. The plot is mainly used as replenish land for defective seedlings in the previous years. The sides of the road are dominated by broad-leaved trees, such as maples, poplars and elms.In the middle, there are mainly pines which are 4 years old seedlings and some poplars. Part of the pines near the road were planted in year 2017, the seedlings are big.The survival rate is 85%, and the average height of the trees is 0.92m with highest height being 3m. The average basal diameter is 2.33cm and the maximum is 4.5cm.

可以看到初植的质量较好，苗木普遍发芽，地形相对简单，但面积较大，大部分区域距离道路较远，抚育难度相对较大。

From the image above, we can see that the first around of planting went very well, and most seedlings are germinated. The terrain is relatively simple, but the area is vast, and most areas are far away from the road. This causes difficulties in care.

经统计，该林地主要的问题为苗木缺损。其中，苗木缺失占问题苗木的95.45%，占苗木总数的14.31%。即，主要问题还是栽植过程中发生漏栽或栽植初期的苗木死亡。

According to statistics, the main problem of the forest is seedling defects. Among them, the loss of seedlings accounted for 95.45% of the problematic seedlings, making up 14.31% of the total number of seedlings. That means, the major problem is either seedling defects or the occurrence of seedling death during the initial planting.
