Description: Das Projekt "Soil Erosion Control and Ecological Restoration on the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi Province, P.R. China" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Technische Universität München, Fachgebiet Geobotanik durchgeführt. The Central Loess Plateau of north-western China is well known for its massive soil erosion which has emerged as one of the major environmental problems in China. It is reported that about 90 percent of the silt load washed into the Yellow River every year is generated from this area, which accounts for only about 40 percent of the total area of the Yellow River Basin. In addition to soil erosion and severe ecological degradation the region is considered to be one of the least developed and poorest regions in China. Incomes of the local population range already below the national average and continued degradation of farmland and water resources can only further deteriorate local living standards and ecological conditions. The Central Government of China has given high priority to a stable growth in the agricultural sector of the region but has also recognized that one important option to reduce soil erosion besides implementing improved farming techniques is to implement large scale restoration programmes of natural vegetation. However, current activities such as the development of fruit tree plantations and mono-species afforestation might only be of limited use in this regard. In 1999 a joint Sino-German research project between the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) and the Northwest Science and Technology University of Agriculture and Forestry (NWUF) of Yangling was initiated. The overall goal of this project is two-fold: One objective is to consolidate knowledge on remnant natural forests in the Loess Plateau Region and to explore if remaining local vegetation types can be used as guidance for larger-scale restoration in areas where original vegetation has been destroyed completely. The second component of the project is designed to generate reliable scientific data on how soil and farmland conservation can be integrated into agricultural development by using remote sensing technologies.
