Application value of organic ground surface mulch in urban forestry construction

Abstract

Abstract: This paper summarized the development process of organic ground surface mulch,and analyzed its important application value(such as the functions of improving soil physical and chemical properties,promoting plant growth,beautifying urban landscape,and preventing soil dust,etc.),and its values in protecting environment and benefiting economy.The problems in the application process of organic ground surface mulch were discussed,and the actual impendence and broad development space of its production and application in our urban forestry construction were pointed out.

Key words: Organic ground surface mulch, Urban forestry, Application value
