Volyn: don't burn dry grass!
In the spring, when the snow melts and the soil becomes exposed, and late autumn, people setting fires, burning the dry grass. People who claim that burning last year's grass should, themselves are mistaken and mislead others. Every act of arson is a crime against the fragile world of nature. The main danger lies in provoking forest fires and the destruction of the biocenosis in the ecosystem. What makes people burn the grass? Speaking of adults, many do it deliberately, thinking that the burning of herbs useful. Prefer to burn the grass and those who are lazy to clean up the garbage and deadwood manually. REMEMBER: IN nature, everything is arranged reasonably and rationally. Spring burning harms the grass, shrubs, reptiles, insects and all living things of the microcosm! Wherever the fire was, will never be the same herbs. Vacant territory, will take over the weeds. When burning grass killed all the beneficial microflora of the soil, reducing its fertility; destroyed many insects, their larvae, pupae, burning the walls and the places of nesting birds. In addition, acrid smoke from burning herbs can be harmful to humans. Particularly sensitive Allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Moreover, in the dry grass often lies waste, hazardous combustion - plastic bottles, bags. Pollute the air with heavy metals. Dry last year's grass is not garbage, and priceless food, house, shelter, living conditions of animals, created by nature itself. The effects of burning: 1. Burning of dry grass causes the death of eggs and ground nesting birds such as Mallard, Teal, trescone, urticaria, and common reed Buntings, field, forest, and crested larks, meadow Pipit. The breeding season of these birds begins in early April. With scorched places the birds go, so go away from us. Birds and animals are afraid of fire. 2. When the burning grass is dying all the useful soil microflora, including one that helps plants resist diseases. On recovery takes time, just the most valuable time of spring, when plants are gaining strength. 3. Grass fires lead to a marked decrease of soil fertility. Herbal fire does not increase the amount of mineral nutrients in the soil - it just releases them from the dry grass, makes available for plant nutrition. While nitrogen compounds are lost , lost and dead organic matter of the soil. Reduction of the amount of dead organic matter in the soil is the main factor reducing soil fertility. Organic matter - humus - provides the porosity and friability of the soil, its moisture content, ability to retain the mineral elements of plant nutrition in forms from which they can quickly be released into soil solution (which is especially important during the period of active grass growth). In addition, organic matter largely determines the soil's ability to resist water and wind erosion - bonded dead organic matter particles of sand and clay harder washed with water or blown away by wind, i.e. fertile soil layer is better preserved over time. Finally, dead organic matter available in it releases the mineral nutrients gradually as the decomposition of - while the combustion of this substance, mineral nutrients pass into a soluble form (in the ash) quickly and subsequently easily washed away by the first rain. 4. The fire can die and suffer animals, reptiles, amphibians; especially newborn leverets, hedgehogs and zacata, frogs. With a strong herbal fire killed almost all the animals in the dry grass and on the soil surface. Somebody burns, somebody is suffocating in the smoke. The fires are often burnt bird's nest with traces of eggs, burnt snails, rodents, small mammals. 5. When they die one or many links from the entire biocenosis of the place, the environmental situation could permanently change for the worse. 6. When spring burning can damage the trees, especially their root neck is a very vulnerable place right above the ground. Not to mention the fact that the trees can simply burn out, get burnt from the strong temperature buds swell in the spring, and it is very harmful to the tree, even if it will survive. Suffer young trees (especially with such a sensitive breed as oak, maple, Linden). Grass fires cause substantial damage to the edges, palsecam forest, destroy the young tree growth, serve as a major source of fires in forests and peat bogs. 7. The smoke from burning herbs pungent, dark, thick - it is very unpleasant to people, eating eyes, unpleasant smell. Allergy sufferers can not tolerate it. And burning the grass in the villages you burn and the salts of the heavy metals that settled on the leaves, the grass and plants pumped from the soil - this smoke is just poisonous. In addition to deposits of dry grass and brushwood often lurks debris, including unsuitable and dangerous for burning plastic bottles and the like. In rural areas the fire burned the remnants of fertilizers and chemicals, forming volatile toxic organic and inorganic compounds. When burning grass along the roads is pollution with heavy metals. 8. Grass fires are one of the most important sources of emissions of carbon dioxide related to human activities. And therefore aggravated the so-called "greenhouse effect", leading to adverse developments and more volatile climate of our planet. 9. On-site burning of normal plant life and insects restored only after 5-6 years, and often NEVER recovers. DO NOT BURN DRY GRASS EVER!.Ïåðåâåäåíî ñåðâèñîì "ßíäåêñ.Ïåðåâîä÷èê": translate.yandex.ru.
