A pioneering journey of science and technology
作者：沙坡头站 更新时间：2024-11-04
During the early years of the People’s Republic of China, significant scientific and technological challenges arose around the construction of the Baotou-Lanzhou Railway.
With the unremitting efforts of several generations of researchers, scientists from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources addressed problems such as straw checkerboard barrier and its sand-binding effect, revegetation for sand fixation (non-irrigation) and the selection and configuration of plant species for sand fixation.
They proposed new theories regarding the construction of desert railway protection systems, thus ensuring smooth operation of the Baotou-Lanzhou Railway. They also elucidated mechanisms for ecological restoration, providing a scientific foundation for conserving western China’s ecological environment and for converting agricultural land back to forested land.
