1. The ecosystem of Qilian Mountain Qilian Mountain is a mountain with a wide range. It starts from Songshan Mountain in the east, reaches Dangjinshankou in the west, reaches Hexi Corridor in the north and Qaidam Basin in the south. It can be said that the east-west length reaches more than 800 kilometers, and the north-south length reaches 200 to 400 kilometers. Qilian Mountain is 3,000 to 6,000 meters above sea level, with a main peak of more than 5,500 meters. The top of Qilian Mountain is covered with snow for a long time, and there are many glaciers halfway up the mountain. So at an altitude of more than 3000 meters, a large area of forests and grasslands were bred, which played the role of regulating water sources, nourishing land, supplementing water and dispatching weather. Therefore, they are closely related to the ecological environment of the whole North China.
Second, Qilian Mountain is the most ecologically rich mountain and river. Qilian Mountain is a very important ecological environment in western China. It is the main source of the Yellow River, and it also breeds many kinds of creatures. The ecological environment of Qilian Mountain also includes many wild animals and microorganisms. According to experts' statistics, all the glaciers in Qilian Mountain add up, and their water storage capacity can be higher than that of more than two Three Gorges reservoirs. So, as long as its glaciers don't melt and don't balance with the cold weather on the plateau, the northwest of China will never dry up? Mountainous fixed reservoir? .
The ice and snow in Qilian Mountain has been pregnant with Hexi Corridor. Once all its ice and snow melt, the surrounding environment will become a desert. It can be said that protecting the ecological environment of Qilian Mountain is a crucial thing. However, in recent years, people's tourism and development of Qilian Mountain have caused the destruction and pollution of Qilian Mountain resources. Therefore, the protection of Qilian Mountain is the top priority, and now the state has included the ecological protection of Qilian Mountain in its important articles of association.
