Auditing reforested watersheds on the loess plateau: Fangshan Shanxi

Habitat mapping and modelling of Fangshan watersheds revealed how ecological restoration is gradually occurring through strategic combinations of planned reforestation, traditional terrace farming systems and natural regeneration. These ecological strategies are shown to be beneficial land use partners in restoring the mountain rangelands, riparian ecostructures and ecosystem functions of degraded loess plateau watersheds.
