Advances in ecological degeneration and restoration of Loess Plateau

The Loess Plateau is the one of the most vulnerable areas of ecological environment, mainly characteried by serious soil erosion in China, which restrict the economic development of the region and the improvement of living standard. Therefore, it is very important to govern the ecological environment of Loess Plateau. This paper mainly analyzes and discusses three aspects of Loess Plateau, which include the particularity of geomorphology, topography, climate and soil. Simultaneously, we summarize the relevant measures of ecological restoration combining the current status of Loess Plateau deterioration and analyzing the reasons which result in the deterioration. Finally, we present some suggestions for the problems which mainly relate to the ecological restoration of Loess Plateau in recently relevant researches so as to provide some guidances for ecological environment comprehensive management of the Loess Plateau in future.
