摘要
Mulberry is a perennial and broadleaf woody plant. Mulberry trees have long been cultivated for silkworm rearing. In recent years, the roles of mulberry trees in the prevention and control of desertification, water and soil conservation, saline-land management and returning the grain plots to forestry have been identified. Meanwhile, multi–usage of mulberry as forage for livestock, for fruit and tea preparation has been gradually explored. Therefore, an innovation occurred in the mulberry industry. This article introduces the ecological and economic values of mulberry trees, the applications of mulberry, and the development of mulberry industry.
桑树是一种多年生木本阔叶型树种,长期以来桑树都是以养蚕为目的而栽培,近年,桑树在防沙治沙、石漠化治理、水土保持、盐碱地治理、退耕还林等方面的作用被重新认识,同时桑树作为畜禽饲料和果、茶等多级利用的价值也逐渐被发掘,由此带来桑树产业经营观念的变革。本文介绍了桑树的生态作用、多级利用价值,以及生态桑应用案例和桑生态产业的发展。
