In the 'Alipay client' under the ant's golden clothing, the first 'carbon account' is designed to be an ant forest's public welfare action: if users walk, travel on the subway, pay for the electricity and gas on line, pay the traffic tickets online, register online, and buy tickets online, they will reduce the corresponding carbon emissions, and can be used to maintain a virtual tree in Alipay. When the tree grows up, ant ecological partners such as public welfare organizations and environmental protection enterprises can 'buy' the user's' tree 'and plant an entity tree in a certain region in reality. So can ant forest really plant trees? Where are these trees planted? What kind of trees are planted?

The trees planted in the region are called Haloxylon ammodendron. A few days ago, it has been reported that some netizens went to Alashan League of Inner Mongolia and looked at the Haloxylon trees there like withered grass, indicating that they are very tangled. I'm here to help you popularize science!

Haloxylon ammodendron trees in the desert are clumps, like shrubs, but actually can grow to 3-8 meters high. The seeds of Haloxylon ammodendron are the shortest lived seeds in the world, with a life span of only a few hours. However, it has strong vitality. It only needs a little water and can take root and sprout in two or three hours. Once it grows up, it can adapt to the harsh environment of the desert by "withering" appearance. Trees become forests and the desert is afforested. What's more, they have deep roots, and one tree can catch a large area of sandy soil, which is a good tree species for windbreak and sand fixation. In addition, Haloxylon can also prevent floods. Heavy rain in Alxa in summer depends on it to absorb rainwater, reduce cross flow and protect soil from being washed away.

Interestingly, the roots of Haloxylon ammodendron can also parasitize Cistanche, without chlorophyll. It completely depends on absorbing the nutrition of Haloxylon ammodendron, and then comes out of the ground to form a large column full of small flowers, which is a good ornament. When they grow up, they will attract Compositae, arboreal grasses, and sand lizards to rejuvenate the desert.

After reading, we should be able to rest assured.
