The invention discloses a planting method for a
protection forest in a northwestern desert area. The method is characterized in that a wind and sand frontier area without
vegetation at the periphery of an oasis is selected, a
plant tree line band, a
shrub line band and a
herb line band are constructed from outside to inside in sequence in a main
wind direction, and the
protection forest suitable for the northwest desert area is cultivated through planting of plants and water and
fertilizer management after planting. Compared with the prior art, the planting method has the advantages of high
temperature resistance,
cold tolerance, salt and alkali resistance, sand burial resistance,
drought tolerance, a low occurrence rate of pests and diseases and wide
adaptation; the selected plants are all drought-resistant, water-saving and sand-preventing plants, a configuration pattern of combination of trees, shrubs and herbs is adopted, the
community stability is high, the efficiency of wind prevention and sand fixation is guaranteed, direct
economic benefits can be generated at the same time, the generated
economic benefits can continue to maintain the management and protection investment ofthe
protection forest and even have surpluses, the effects of wind prevention and sand fixation are achieved, the
environmental quality is improved, and meanwhile, the enthusiasm of local people formanagement and protection of the protection forest is greatly improved.
