- Abstract:
-
Ecological restoration is an efficient way for treatment of soil and water loss and is a new idea for development of soil and water conservation.In recent years,a lot of attention has been paid to engineering construction for soil and water conservation and ecological restoration in various regions.It is thus necessary to have monitoring and assessment on the effect of ecological restoration.In this paper,analysis was performed on the monitoring results for the past three years of an ecological restoration project in the hilly region of northern Jiangsu province.The result shows that,inside the region,plants species groups increase gradually and vegetation coverage increases year by year(from 43.5% to 98.4%).Plant tribes show varied and stable growth in a good cycle.Plantation of saplings grows well too.Soil erosion amount reduces from 2758 t/(km2·a) down to 1369 t/(km2·a) and sand reduction efficiency is 50.4%.Soil and water loss has been controlled efficiently.
