Ecological technology boosts Inner Mongolia's beauty and development

Core technology from the prairie

At present, Wang Jianjun has received authorization for four patents for inventions and 16 patents for utility models in the fields of ecological slope protection, planting grass terrace, vertical greening and planting apparatus technologies. There are another three patents for inventions under review. In addition, Wang is applying for nearly 30 national technology patents in maintenance-free tree planting in arid areas; frozen, stagnant and condensate water application in tree planting; water saving lawns; biological slope protection; and water-storage road shoulders. Wang was also hired by the Beijing Forestry University as a tutor for postgraduates studying water and soil conservation and desertification control. He is also a member of the China Soil and Water Conservation Society's engineering afforestation committee.

Wang Jianjun introduce his ecological technology to visitors.

On July 25, 2014, vice-president of the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences of Vienna's institute of soil organisms and landscape construction visited Hohhot for green technology exchange and cooperation in ecological restoration.

At a seminar during the visit, Inner Mongolia's landscape ecological engineering institute signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with the university on environmental protection and ecological restoration. The two sides established a close strategic partnership to actively boost cooperation in mine disaster ecological governance, environment restoration and ecological afforestation.

"The highway slope has an angle of more than 40 degrees, and it's important for reinforcement measures. The project helps strengthen the slope. At the same time, plants grow very well and are very beautiful, and their roots have also reinforced the slope. Cast-in-situ grid ecological slope protection technology is very good, and has played a dual role in engineering protection and ecological afforestation," said the vice-president from a university in Vienna.

On April 18, 2013, the riverway landscape design leaded by Wang Jianjun won third prize at the water and soil conservation and ecology landscape design competition held by the Ministry of Water Resources' science and technology promotion center and the China Soil and Water and Conservation Society.

"I think the cast-in-situ grid ecological slope protection technology has produced positive engineering and ecological results, and also helps flood control," said the vice-president of the university in Vienna.

"The common ecological idea brought Wang and I together, and Wang's ecological philosophy is very realistic and advanced. Ecological restoration is a very pressing global problem, and our academic and technical exchanges can boost soil organism and ecological restoration development in China and Vienna. Our research findings will be put on the curricula to broaden student's ideas and visions in ecological restoration."
