Abstract

According to a lot of hydrological and environmental monitoring data, the condition of soil and water loss in the Lancang River-Mekong River watershed (in Yunnan section, China ) is described. The occurrence and development of soil and water loss is analyzed. The conclusion is that: (1) generally, the situation of soil and water loss in the Lancang River-Mekong River watershed (in Yunnan section, China) is light, however, soil and water loss in some regions is serious, especially in the middle reach area of the river; (2) soil and water loss in the Lancang River-Mekong River (in Yunnan section, China) watershed presents developing tendency and it is mainly caused by human beings. In accordance with these results, the control measures for soil and water loss are discussed.

Abstract

Taking Huize County as an example, the paper analyzed the landscape structure (landscape element structure, landscape type structure, landscape spatial structure, landscape succession structure) and the relations between landscape structure and land use. It was pointed out that the agriculture should be developed in harmony with the landscape structure in the study area.

Abstract:

Soil erosion in agricultural watersheds consists of a natural component and an accelerated component. Paleolimnological methods were used to calculate sediment accumulation rates for four lakes in Yunnan Province China .
