Abstract

Abstract: The Loess plateau region fames the most intensive water and soil erosion in the world.Thewater and soil erosion in cultivated sloping land leads to the reduction of agricultural yieldsand deterioration of soil.This paper introduces the water and soil conservating cultivationmethod and its role in controlling water and soil erosion.Scientific predictions are made forthe developing trends of this method in managing cultivated sloping land.

Key words: Keerqin sandy land, Meadow, Grazing, Harvesting, Seed bank
