Licorice in the Amugulong Licorice Industry Demonstration Park is grown horizontally. Therefore, it can cover one square meter of land, amplifying the greening efficiency by 10 times.
Because the root of licorice can fix nitrogen and thus fertilize land, watermelons and other plants are able to grow in desert after licorice has helped soil regain integrity.
