Understanding the balance between soil conservation and soil water storage capacity during the process of vegetation restoration in semi‐arid watersheds in the Loess Plateau, China

Yang Yu,
Ruipeng Zhu,
Dianjun Liu
et al.

Abstract: In the Loess Plateau, gaining insights into the water storage and soil retention functions of diverse vegetation types, especially, in the semi‐arid watersheds is crucial for identifying the key factors necessary to ensure sustainable development and achieve land degradation neutrality. In this study, five different land use types such as forest, shrub, artificial grass, and natural grasslands were surveyed from 2014 to 2020. Meanwhile, bare land was also used as a control plot. The trade‐off between erosion m… Show more

“…The synergistic effects of vegetation and check dams are inseparable during the soil erosion and played an important role in soil and water conservation (Gu et al, 2020; Jin et al, 2020). Revegetation on slopes can effectively reduce the runoff and sediment yields (Zhang et al, 2014; Zhang et al, 2018; Yu, Zhu, et al, 2023). Vegetation directly intercepts rainfall through forest canopy and can enhance slope roughness and soil erosion resistance (Dan et al, 2023).…”
