Vegetation restoration and construction play an important role in controlling soil and water loss. The spatial distribution of plant cover is scattered in arid and semi鄄arid region. The formed land cover patterns on hillslope such as bare soil鄄vegetation mosaic and banded vegetation pattern have great effect on runoff and soil erosion processes. The relationship between land cover pattern and soil loss is an important topic of pattern and process research in landscape ecology. We present a review of previous research from three aspects including the effects of vegetation patch and land cover pattern on runoff and soil erosion, and the way to account for land cover pattern and couple it with soil loss. Vegetation type,

Ecosystem and landscape are basic functional units of the Earth surface systems. The scientific concepts have come into being from the perspectives of the supports provided by ecosystems and landscapes for human survival and development as well as sustainable use and environmental conservation. Recently, researches on ecosystem service and multifunctional landscapes have grown into hotspots in the fields of eco鄄environmental sciences. However, quantitative analyses regarding ecosystem services and landscape multi鄄functionality are still weak and premature as revealed by the international research progress on these themes. Ecosystem and landscape are organized hierarchically, where the former acts as building blocks for the latter. Therefore, ecosystem service and landscape function may have the same origin. The present paper advocates that the close integration of ecosystem service and landscape multi鄄functionality researches has both real world basis and advantage of advancing the quality of quantitative analysis on ecosystem service and landscape multi鄄 functionality. An integrative framework for this task has been formulated accordingly. Scales and scaling, methodological integration, the interactions among ecosystem services and landscape functions as well as management intervention are the core themes under this framework. From the contemporary literature, we can see that this framework is operational and can be treated as a viable choice to advance the researches of both ecosystem services and landscape multi鄄functionality.
