People who run around the cement forest all day long inevitably have a longing for natural landscapes.
The green mountains and clear waters of a city are different from natural landscapes, lacking the grandeur of mountains and rivers, and pursuing the spirit of returning to nature. Recreating green mountains and rivers in the city, integrating good mountains, waters, and scenery into it, is the direction of green development in the city and the expectation of residents for a better life. In recent years, the living environment in urban and rural areas has significantly improved, and the construction of a beautiful China has achieved significant results. However, some cities have shown signs of greening deviating, which needs to be corrected in a timely manner, respecting laws and nature, and allowing cities to reproduce green mountains and clear waters.
Greening cities and adding colors to mountains and rivers requires adapting to local conditions and adapting to greenery. Each city has its own style, which is closely linked to the green plants in the mountains and rivers. Some cities have a serene and verdant atmosphere, while others have the charm of three autumnal osmanthus and ten mile lotus flowers. In recent years, the pocket parks, small green spaces, and riverside walkways in the city, where birds sing and flowers bloom, have become the green landscape spaces at the doorstep of a home.
A region of mountains, rivers, and rivers nurtures a region of scenery, achieving ecological, landscape, and cultural harmony and unity requires the scientific and full utilization of appropriate local plants. For example, some places are suitable for planting willow trees, and attention should be paid to combining the proportion of coniferous and broad-leaved forests to better meet the requirements of the biological and ecological chains. The green mountains and clear waters in the city should not deviate. Instead, we should replace tree species that are greedy for foreign resources and excessively pursue "flowers in all seasons" and engage in "image engineering". This not only damages the ecology but also causes huge waste. Some plants that are not suitable for the local area may bloom like flowers for a while after investing a lot of manpower and financial resources, but they may not be covered with green shade for a long time. The cultivation of mountains and rivers, as well as the growth of plants and trees, have their own laws. Both banks of rivers and the surrounding areas of lakes and reservoirs should prioritize the selection of tree species and grass species with strong stress resistance, developed root systems, strong soil fixation ability, and good protective performance; In areas with good hydrothermal conditions and deep soil layers, priority should be given to selecting high-quality and precious timber species that grow quickly, have high yields, and are resistant to diseases and pests; In the vicinity of residential areas, consideration should be given to public health factors, and the selection of tree species and grass species that are prone to allergies should be avoided.
Green water flows for a long time, and green mountains never grow old. By actively creating greenery, cities are constantly updated. Let the city constantly radiate vitality. It cannot rely on a single "big tree entering the city" or a momentary "internet celebrity" tree species, but on the integration of human and nature in the urban landscape. The ultimate goal of urban greening is to allow people to step into the mountains and rivers, appreciate the beauty of flowers and birds, exercise and relax by the riverbank, and meditate in the forest.
The reproduction of green mountains and clear waters in cities is supported by high-quality ecological environment for high-quality development, accelerating the promotion of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Everyone is shaping modern cities with their actions, and cities are also shaping daily life. A tree, a bouquet of flowers, a good life is hidden between green, fat, red, and thin.
