| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Urbanization, natural forces and heavy traffic may have destroyed landscape and causing topsoil loss and erosion. Reducing soil erosion is important to preserve nutrient-rich soils and natural or unnatural configuration of the topography. Using deep-rooted native wild edible fruits for erosion control is an excellent biological method to safeguard the landscape and the shape of the land. Throughout world there are erosion control native wild edible fruits, but preventing erosion with native plants complements and accents the natural landscape. Native wild edible fruits also need less specialized care and maintenance. Among native wild edible fruits, sea buckthorn (Hippophae spp.) has special importance. The fruits and leaves of the plant is very important for human nutrition point of view and accepted as ‘super foods’. The plant distributed mainly Europe and Asia and in its natural environment, sea buckthorn (Hippophae spp.) plants are found on slopes, riverbanks, and seashores. Soil acidity and alkalinity, except at extreme levels are not limiting factors for sea buckthorn plants. The plant exhibite a wide adaptation capacity, fast growth characteristics with high ratio of suckering, coupled with efficient nitrogen fixation, make sea buckthorn particularly suitable for planting in degraded soils. In most of the sea buckthorn growing countries, sea buckthorn has controlled soil erosion and water loss effectively and increased land reclamation. |
