Integrated Management: The Certainty Choice of Flood Hazard Control and Ecological Rehabilitation in Qin-Ba Mountainous Region
In order to prevent and reduce natural calamities, improve people's living environment in Qin-Ba mountainous area in the south of Shaanxi, general situation and flood disasters in this area are introduced and the causes of disaster are analyzed. The reasons causing river bank destroyed by flood is not only natural factors but also human factors, including altering river beach for farmland, contracting river section, not leaving outlets for flood, soil and water conservation deficiency in the upper reaches and river scouring lagging, and so on. Countermeasures for preventing and reducing disasters and improving environment are that dealing with the relation between human and nature properly, changing contesting land with flood into leaving outlets for flood, making overall plans, reinforcing soil erosion comprehensive control in the upper reaches and enhancing soil and water conservation preventing supervision and river scouring.

Remote Sensing Classification of Land Use Based on Image Fusion in the Loess Hilly Region of Northern Shaanxi Province
The land use classification accuracy is unsatisfactory based on single remotely sensed data and supervised classification in the land use investigation of loess hill and gully area. Taking the watershed of WuDing River of Northern Shaanxi Province as a test area, the TM multi-spectral data and SPOT pan data are merged by the method of Principal Components Analysis. Then, based on the merged image, the land use categories are extracted by applying an integration of supervised classification and unsupervised classification, which improved sampling method remarkably. The total accuracy increased from 82.0% to 89.2%, especially the accuracy of city and town area, paddy field, water area increased over 10%, the mixture of sloping field and forest (grassland) decreased remarkably and the accuracy of the two categories increased over 5% respectively by the combination of two methods, compared to the classification based on the single TM multi-spectral data and supervised classification. The result is of critical significance in land use dynamic monitoring in the area.

Preliminary Assessment of Forest Function on Soil and Water Conservation in Eastern Regions of Daxinganling Mountains
Forest function on soil and water conservation has drawn more attention from the Chinese publics. It is estimated that the soil erosion amount before and after cutting in the eastern forest area of Daxinganling Mountains using GIS and USLE, the results showed that annual soil erosion amount before cutting was 485万8658.55t, and that after cutting was 1亿4109万9989.4t which was equal to 29 times of that before cutting. Soil erosion modulus in all the forestry bureaus before cutting is lower than tolerant soil loss amount (200t/(km
2
·a)) in this region, while that after cutting was higher than tolerant soil loss amount; the maximum value was 3849.57t/(km
2
·a) in Huzhong Forestry Bureau where soil erosion was very severe. It is obvious that forest function on soil and water conservation in this region is very great. In the whole region, spatial pattern of soil erosion modulus before cutting coincides with that after cutting with decreasing trend from west to east, which is similar to the change of slope factor in this region, it can be concluded that vegetation coverage is main influencing factor for soil erosion, while slope gradient is main factor influencing spatial difference of soil erosion. Undoubtedly, this research will be helpful to formulate subsidy mechanism for ecological benefit and to determine priority of protection for ecological units in this region.

Amount of Soil Loss Under Different Land Use Type in Granite Area of Three Gorges of Yangtze River
Research on the sediment sources in small watershed of Three Gorges Reservoir Area can guarantee hydro-junction engineering's safe working and benefit exertion. In the selected typical small watershed, several soil profiles were dug, and the relationship between physical characteristics of soil under different types of land utilization and soil erosion is analyzed through the investigation of soil erosion, the observation of sediment and runoff in slope plot. The quantity of soil erosion in different slopes and gully under different types of land utilization is measured. The results show that the characteristics of soil grain under different types of land utilization are closely correlated to the extent of soil loss. With the increasing of soil loss, the sorting coefficient for soil particle diameter of A layer decrease in different types of land utilization. The symmetry of diameter groups is low in different types of land utilization. Sediment in granite area of Three-Gorges mainly originates from soil erosion in slope. Sediment yielded from slope chiefly comes from arable land located at slope, and the quantity of sediment yielded from arable land located at the slope above 25°accounts for about 50% of the total sediment yielded from slope.

Evaluation of Land Use Suitability at the Vulnerable Ecological Area Based on RS/GIS
Land use planning is crucial to the areas that are under severing soil erosion. Land evaluation is an important basis for landscape and land use planning. A framework was developed for land evaluation in Liudaogou watershed with typical characteristics of water-wind erosion crisscross region, in the loess plateau, focusing on integrative, process and ecological analysis. Landuse data in 1990 and 2002 were collected from RS data and GIS was used for data storage and analysis. The landuse rational index from the point of land slope degree for two periods was calculated and four limiting factors (the section of landform, slope degree, soil type and soil erosion intensity) were selected and their ranking and weighted contribution were given to evaluate the suitability of current land source for farmland, grassland and forest separately in 2002. By comparing the different suitability of current farmland, grassland and woodland, measures for better land use and conservation are suggested.

The Community Structure of Artificial
Eucalyptus Camaldulensis
Stands in the Dry-Hot Valley of Jinsha River
Through analyse on indexes in common use of community stability describing such as community structure, plant species diversity, growth yield and biomass yield, the density of artificial
Eucalyptus camaldulensis
forests are high widely, the structure is simple and the community stability is lower in dry-hot valley of Jinsha River. With increasing of stands density of three
Eucalyptus camaldulensis
form,the vegetation communities difference under forest canopy increased, there was mainly dominant species in forest (arbor species is
Eucalyptus camaldulensis
, the species under forest canopy is Cheteropogon contortus), the few other species was exist in forest, the vegetation layer structure under forest canopy was simple. With increasing of stands density, the species enrichment (
S
), Shannon-Wiener index (
SW
), species equality (
E
) and ecological dominance (
ED
) minished, the species diversity of community decreased, the community structure changed to badness. The growth yield and biomass yield of community reduced with increasing of stands density also. The biomass yield of the lowest density forest (F
1
) was more than the double of that one of the other higher density forest. The tree growth of all forests was slowness. The average annual growth quantity of diameter and height was 0.72cm and 0.78m respectively even in the lowest density forest (F
1
). To improve the stability of artificial arbor community and advance their positive succession in Jinsha River dry-hot valley, bring into play their ecological function, it is should be considered to reduce the arbor layer community density of artificial forest.

Structure and Microclimate Effects of Shelter-belt on Farmland in Ningxia
Through the investigation on the structure and ecological benefits of shelter-belt on farmland in Ningxia and the analysis of comprehensive weight index, that the important roles played by large net, multi-shelter belt and mixed multi-tree-species in the construction of protection forests is explained. The results show that the wind protection effect of shelter-belt on farmland is better when its porosity reaches 35%～45% and its characters determine the law of variation of wind speed. By the redistribution of solar radiation, shelter-belt on farmland has prominent temperature effects on the surface of the soil and plant, which can prevent the crop from heating. Shelter-belt for farmland can increase air relative humidity and soil moisture. The mechanism is related to its wind control function.

Hydrological Effects of CWD in Sub-alpine Dark Coniferous Ecosystem of Upper Reaches of Yangtze River
The volume of coarse woody debris (CWD) in dark coniferous ecosystem of upper reaches of Yangtze river amounts to 101 74?m 3/hm 2. There are remarkable differences among different succession community of the fallen tree and snag in terms of their volume and decay degree and decay degree of the fallen. The distribution trend generally abides by the rule of increasing with the succession. The decay degree obeys normal distribution. The second, the third and the fourth degree of fallen tree snag, and CWD account for 86.12%, 78.40% and 79.65% wlume of the total volumes of fallen tree, snag and CWD respectively. The water-absorption and water-losing process is the exponential function of the time. With the decay degree's decreasing, the capacity of CWD water-holding decreases. The natural and saturated water-holding capacities of the first degree of CWD amount to 100%, while those of the fifth can attain to three and a half times to seven and a half times of dry-weight itself respectively. The water-holding function of fallen tree almost amounts to 10 times of that of snag. Totally, 7.41mm of precipitation can be hold by CWD under the natural conditions in the dark coniferous ecosystem whereas 9.91mm of precipitation can be hold if all the CWD are saturated, which is an important contribution to the water regulation role of dark coniferous ecosystem of upper reaches of Yangtze river.
