Abstract:The main causes of soil and water loss and the correlations between vegetation characteristics and soil and water loss on granitic hillslopes in Meijiang watershed of south China are discussed. As the result, vegetation destructiton is regarded as the primary cause of soil and water loss, and extending revegetation as the fundamental strategy to control soil and water loss on granitic hillslopes in south China. What's more, several strategies for controlling soil and water loss respectively on different erosion types based on the vegetation ecology are suggested, especially the first-chosen plants in completing these strategies are proposed.
