If it were wheat in the southeast, it would be nowhere to be seen in winter, so how could it be buried by snow?
The same applies to many wild grasses on Ziwu Ridge; once they die in autumn, they simply die.
Biennials spend their winters in slumber, but as soon as the temperature warms up the following year, they can immediately wake up again and grow strong.
However, not all vegetation is biennial; it depends on the location.
If there are no large trees around and there is good sunlight, then this area will be planted with single-season plants. However, if it happens to be a shady place, after many years of natural selection, biennial plants will gradually gather.
Wang Tianxiao had noticed this problem during his previous patrol of the mountain, so what he wanted to draw was a detailed layout diagram.
Dandelions can be sown in autumn and winter and allowed to grow for two years, while Artemisia capillaris is a perennial plant. As long as the roots are there, it can continue to grow and is not so concerned about the seasons.
If it is a meticulous cultivation of Artemisia capillaris, the roots need to be carefully selected for planting, which will result in a higher yield, but this does not fall under Wang Tianxiao's casual planting model, so he does not consider it much.
Once the layout was drawn up, he had a complete grasp of the terrain, which was equivalent to half of Yangziling. All that was left was to sow different seeds according to the terrain.
The mountains were vast, and Wang Tianxiao didn't intend to explore them all in a day. Instead, he simply followed a line and kept looking ahead. Whenever he reached a new hill or ridge, he would dig through the snow, scoop out a handful of soil to observe whether it was sandy, gravelly, or some other type of soil, and mark it on the map.
Different plants need different soils. Dandelions prefer gravelly soil, while Artemisia capillaris prefers moist, soft soil.
When he was busy, his two dogs, Aying and Dafeng, would patrol and play around within a radius of 100 meters, with him as the center.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried running.
He looked up and saw two dogs darting past him and running quickly forward.
Wang Tianxiao stood up abruptly and gripped the gun in his hand.
