- Abstract:
-
Vegetation is an essential measure to control and reduce soil loss, and plays an important role in conserving soil and water, particularly in the eco-environment construction on Loess Plateau. On the basis of analyzing the effects of vegetation on conserving soil and water, recent research progresses of the effect of vegetation on improving soil texture, vegetation and soil anti-scourability, vegetation and anti-shear strength and the hydrodynamic mechanism of vegetation in reducing runoff and soil loss were reviewed. The exiting problems and the future research topics in these fields were also discussed. The objective of this review is essentially to understand the mechanism of vegetation influences on runoff and sediment yield and can provide scientific evidence for ecological restoration construction project.
