(Baoquangngai.vn) - Currently, many northern provinces and cities are making efforts to overcome the consequences of storm No. 3 and the floods. One of them is implementing measures to repair and clear fallen trees, with Hanoi being the locality with the largest number of fallen trees.
According to statistics from Hanoi (as of September 13), storm No. 3 and wind and rain caused more than 40,000 urban trees in the city to fall and have their branches broken. Notably, many hundred-year-old trees, associated with many historical sites of the capital, were also uprooted and broken in storm No. 3. These are losses that are difficult to measure and it makes many people regret.
Analyzing the cause of the series of trees falling in Hanoi due to storm No. 3, some environmental and tree experts said that the problem is due to the unsuitable species of urban trees and the tree planting techniques are not guaranteed. Some people said that with storm winds like storm No. 3, it is inevitable that trees will fall.
The cause of the heavy damage to urban trees in Hanoi by the recent super typhoon will be evaluated to find solutions for the problem of trees in the future.
But there is one thing that scientists and tree experts need to refer to the experience of "dealing with trees" before storms from the Central region, a place that is heavily affected by natural disasters and often experiences storms.
As a tradition, before each storm season, urban tree management companies in the Central region, including Quang Ngai , cut down trees according to the annual plan. In particular, when there is information forecasting that a storm will affect the locality, this work will be reinforced in terms of manpower and equipment to complete the task of cutting and pruning trees before the storm makes landfall.
Large trees will be pruned. For leaning trees, trees with signs of loose roots will be reinforced and propped up. Not only that, the types of trees are also divided according to their specific characteristics to conduct appropriate pruning. The goal is nothing other than to minimize damage caused by storms to the green tree system, while ensuring the safety of people's travel and daily activities.
Of course, with the power of the storm, the falling of trees is inevitable. But the damage to trees is greatly reduced. Because trees after being pruned, trimmed, and supported will reduce the impact of the wind.
In fact, the way of doing things in the Central region in general and Quang Ngai in particular for green trees is a lesson learned from many years of experience. After a period of pruning, the trees will grow green again, rather than letting the wind and storms knock them down, uproot them, or break their branches. Because, planting a tree is not easy, and it takes a lot of time to take care of it.
So, for the people of Central Vietnam, the shoots will grow.
