清代,河南植被日益缩减。究其原因,除受明清时期我国气候日趋寒冷影响外,毁林垦荒、营建贩木、伐薪烧炭、采集木耳、灾荒摧残和烧取竹沥等活动,也影响着河南植被生存。植被减少之下,河南许多地方水土流失加剧、旱涝灾害增多、风沙扬尘肆虐、飞禽走兽减少和美景胜地消失,等等。实际上,保护植被也是在保护人类的生存环境。在发展社会经济时以及日常生活中,我们切不可随意毁坏植被,一定要增强生态环保意识,植树造林,爱护草木,保护、改善生态环境。当发展经济尤其是发展农业生产与生态保护矛盾时,前者要服从后者。否则,我们必将自食其果。 Qing dynasty, Henan vegetation is decreasing day by day. The reason is that except for the increasingly cold climate of China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such activities as deforestation, reclamation of wasteland, construction of tractors, harvesting of charcoal, collection of fungus, devastating destruction and burning of bamboo leachate also affect the survival of Henan vegetation. With the reduction of vegetation, soil erosion in many parts of Henan has been aggravated, droughts and floods have increased, wind and dust have been raging, birds and animals have disappeared, beauty spots have disappeared, and so on. In fact, the protection of vegetation is also in the protection of human living environment. In the development of social economy and daily life, we must not arbitrarily destroy the vegetation, we must enhance the ecological awareness of the environment, afforestation, conservation of grass and trees, to protect and improve the ecological environment. When developing the economy, especially contradictions between the development of agricultural production and ecological protection, the former should obey the latter. Otherwise, we will have our own way.
