Effect of DewEco Stuff on the Moisture and Water-saving Performance of Chinese Dewarf Cherry in Arid areas
To alleviate the serious problems of soil desertification and water loss in the loess hilly and arid desert areas of Yulin,improve the soil ability to retain water and fertilizer,and create a soil envi-ronment conducive to seedling growth,DewEco material was used to delay soil moisture evaporation with soil and water conservation experimental base of Chinese dwarf cherry in the slope greater than 35°.The experiments have shown that the optimal amount of DewEco can benefit soil granular struc-ture,decrease the loss of soil water nutrients,and enhance soil water retention and conservation.Mo-reover,it may also increase the survival rate of Chinese dwarf cherry.The results of this experiment can provide reference for soil improvement in loess hilly slopes and arid deserts.
