Feeding chickens under the forest is an economic innovation farming model under forest, which has good economic benefits and broad development prospects. In this paper, the effects of feeding chicken under the forest on forest and grass, soil physicochemical properties, soil microbial diversity, and insect population were summarized,and the corresponding development measures were put forward based on practical production. In the modes of feeding chickens under the forest, chicken manure, as a green organic fertilizer, can effectively increase economic income. However, this model also has some disadvantages, such as damaging plant growth and reducing plant diversity. When the density of chickens under the forest is controlled reasonably, it is beneficial to maintain good soil ventilation and water permeability. However, the high-density and long-term activities of chickens may lead to the changes of soil physical and chemical properties, and the growth of trees is hindered by poor soil quality. In the process of production, the modes of feeding chicken under the forest is beneficial to increase the variety and quantity of soil microorganisms, promote the decomposition of soil organic matter and the transformation of nutrients, and thus improve soil fertility. At the same time, it can reduce the occurrence of pests, promote the healthy growth of plants, save feed, and reduce the cost of disease and pest control. The development of feeding chicken under the forest should be based on local conditions, scientific site selection and layout, targeted improvement of the vegetation in the breeding area, reasonable determination of breeding density, time and scale, implementation of regional rotational grazing system, and strengthening disease prevention and control. This paper provides references for promoting the high-quality development of the feeding chicken under the forest.
Native chicken is loved by consumers because of its fresh meat and rich nutritional value. The breeding technology of native chicken in Huangshan of Anhui Province from the aspects of chicken farm construction, variety selection, brooding and breeding management were introduced, and the breeding benefits in actual production were analyzed, and the corresponding measures were proposed. In the process of chicken breeding, the chicken farm should choose a higher terrain, ensure convenient transportation, stay away from residential areas, and ensure sufficient water, etc., it is appropriate to choose an adult weight of about 2 kg and a long tibial variety.

Based on a literature review, this paper synthesizes the mechanisms underlying the detachment of the mattic epipedon during the degradation of alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, discusses its ecological functions, and highlights that restoring the mattic epipedon is crucial for rehabilitating degraded grasslands. The mattic epipedon in alpine meadows of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a unique surface soil layer composed of living/dead roots and humus, playing essential ecological roles in water conservation, carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, and maintaining ecosystem stability. The detachment of the mattic epipedon is driven by multiple factors, including climate warming and drying, freeze-thaw cycles, grazing pressure, rodent disturbances, and human activities, manifesting as a degradation sequence from normal development, thickening, collapse, to complete detachment. The rupture of the mattic epipedon leads to deterioration of soil physicochemical properties, reduced microbial activity, and vegetation retrogressive succession, exacerbating the formation of “black soil patches”. Future research should focus on the response of the mattic epipedon to climate change, its role in carbon and nitrogen cycling, and restoration techniques to provide a scientific basis for the ecological rehabilitation of alpine grasslands.

To improve the quality of the construction of first-class undergraduate major, the necessity of the construction and reform of Vegetable Cultivation (including Facility Horticulture) course was analyzed, and the teaching system was put into practice from the aspects of course objectives, teaching content, course resources, teaching forms, experiments and practical training, ideological and political elements and teaching evaluation. Specifically, refine the course objectives, so that students can master vegetable sowing, seedling rearing and field management techniques. Optimize the teaching content, combine the two courses of Vegetable Cultivation and Facility Horticulture organically to make it more targeted. Integrate teachers, set up interdisciplinary teachers team, increase professional teaching materials, and enrich online resources; upgrade the experimental teaching resources, update the experimental vegetable seed specimens and so on. Optimize the teaching form, adopt flipped classroom and heuristic teaching, and let students lead the class. Experiments and practical training were strengthened, experiments were set up on identification of vegetable types and investigation of greenhouse types, and virtual simulation experiments were built on greenhouse structure design and soilless cultivation of horticultural crops. Condense ideological and political elements, cultivate students’ spirit of innovation, love for the people, and other pursuits and emotions. The scoring mode of final written test (70%) + experimental class score (15%) + classroom performance (9%) + homework (6%) was adopted to evaluate the teaching results in multiple dimensions. Practice showed that under this teaching reform model, students’ attendance rate and course participation rate were relatively high, the total score pass rate was 94.9%, and the average score of experimental courses is above 85, which comprehensively improves students’ theoretical foundation and practical ability. This paper provides references for the teaching reform of vegetable cultivation and facility horticulture courses.
