Non-point source pollution is becoming more and more serious in China with population growth and socioeconomic development.Thus,sloping lands are paid a great attention in order to gain much more products.While forest coverage decreases there,when heavy raining happens,soil erosion gets worsening.In this case,much more nutrients enter rivers and lakes which result in eutrophication.For controlling non-point source pollution from the sources,sloping land management in the headwater regions is necessary.It has been approved that contour hedgerow system is the most favorable art for soil and water conservation,which is considered as a vital measure to control agricultural non-point source pollution in practice.By implementing hedgerow intercropping,it can fix nitrogen through plants so as to reduce chemical fertilizers input,prevent soil erosion,uptake soil nutrients,and hold up pollutants.Through hedgerows,N and P are reduced by 89% and 80% respectively,which provides habitats for wildlife.Moreover,the planting techniques of hedgerows in sloping lands are also discussed such as design of the system,methods of site preparation,and type of planting,as well as tending and maintaining measures.
