Water is the source of life, and waterside greening is an important part of urban ecological environment construction. In rivers and lakes, reservoir surfaces, wetlands and other places, planting waterside tree species can not only beautify the environment, but also maintain water and soil erosion, regulate water temperature, purify the air, and enhance ecosystem service functions. What trees are suitable to grow near water's edge? Let's take a look at it together.
1. Metasequoia metasequoia is one of the national key protected tree species, also known as oleander and ichthyodendron. It is a tree species that adapts to the wetland environment and likes to grow in coastal areas such as lakes and rivers. Metasequoia can effectively protect rivers and avoid river bank collapse, while also providing habitat and food sources for wild animals.
2. Poplar Poplar is a common waterside tree species. It has the characteristics of rapid growth, deciduous leaves and broad-leaved leaves, drought resistance and cold resistance. Poplars like to grow in places with abundant water sources and fertile soil, such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other waters. In urban construction, poplar trees are also often used for river restoration and ecological green belt construction.
3. Mahogany
Mahogany is a tall tree species that grows rapidly and has good ornamental value. It is suitable for growing in rivers and lakes with humid climate, fertile soil and abundant water sources. Mahogany has strong drought resistance and can effectively prevent soil loss and river bank collapse.
4. Salicylic Salicylic is a common waterside tree species, also known as cloud poplar, holly, and yellow willow. It is highly adaptable, grows rapidly, and can form a dense canopy in a short period of time. Salicatum has developed root systems, which can effectively fix the soil, slow down the speed of water flow, and prevent river sedimentation and flood attacks.
5. Sycamore is an arbor tree species suitable for growing in waterside areas such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Its crown is wide, which can effectively prevent land loss on the banks of rivers. Sycamore trees can also absorb a large amount of harmful gases and improve air quality. They are one of the commonly used tree species in urban greening.
6. Ash tree, also known as yellow wax tree, is a wet-loving tree species suitable for growing next to rivers, lakes, ponds and other waters. It grows rapidly and has high economic value. It can be used to make wood, pulp, etc. In addition, ash trees also have certain sand fixation and protection effects.
7. Elm elm elm is an arbor tree species suitable for growing in waterside areas such as lakes and rivers. Elm trees are cold and drought-tolerant, have strong stress resistance, and can effectively prevent soil erosion and river bank collapse. At the same time, elm trees can also increase the landscape effect and add color to urban greening.
8. Maple Maple is a tree species that adapts to humid environments and is suitable for growing in watersides. Maple trees like a well-lit environment and have high ornamental value. At the same time, maple trees can also effectively prevent soil erosion and river bank collapse. They are a commonly used waterside tree species.
9. Metasequoia metasequoia is a tree species that adapts to wetland environments and likes to grow along rivers, lakes, wetlands and other areas. Its root system is developed and can fix the soil and avoid soil erosion and river bank collapse. At the same time, Metasequoia can also provide habitat and food source for wild animals.
10. Poplar poplar is a waterside tree species that adapts to sufficient water sources and fertile soil. It has the characteristics of rapid growth, deciduous leaves and broad leaves, drought resistance and cold resistance, and is suitable for river restoration and ecological green belt construction. Poplar trees can also effectively prevent soil erosion and river bank collapse.
11. Mahogany is a tall tree species that grows rapidly and is suitable for planting in rivers and lakes. It has good ornamental value and can effectively prevent soil erosion and river bank collapse. Mahogany can also provide habitat and food source for wild animals.
12. Salicylic Salicylic is a common waterside tree species with strong adaptability and rapid growth characteristics. Its root system is developed, which can effectively fix the soil, slow down the speed of water flow, prevent river sedimentation and prevent floods. Salicin can also add beauty to urban greening and improve air quality.
13. Ash tree is a wet-loving tree species suitable for growing in watersides. It grows rapidly and has high economic value. It can be used to make wood, pulp, etc. In addition, ash trees can prevent desertification and improve soil fertility.
14. Elm elm elm is an arbor tree species that adapts to lakes, rivers and other places with abundant water sources. It has strong drought and cold resistance, and can effectively prevent soil erosion and river bank collapse. At the same time, elm trees can also increase the landscape effect and add color to urban greening.
15. Maple Maple is a tree species that adapts to humid environments and is suitable for planting in watersides. It likes a well-lit environment and has high ornamental value. At the same time, maple trees can also effectively prevent soil erosion and river bank collapse. They are a commonly used waterside tree species.
Waterside greening is an important part of urban ecological environment construction, and the selection of waterside tree species is directly related to the greening effect and ecological service functions. Tree species such as metasequoia, poplar, mahogany, salicylum, sycamore, ash, elm and maple are all suitable for growing at the water's edge. They not only beautify the environment, but also maintain water and soil erosion, regulate water temperature, purify the air, and enhance Ecosystem service functions. I hope that we can pay more attention to waterside greening in future urban construction and select suitable tree species to create ecological green belts along rivers and lakes.
