Abstract To promote the comprehensive control of soil and water loss in Huaihe River Basin effectively, the paper illustrates the area, distribution, classification and the main features of slope farmlands in Huaihe River Basin based on the survey of the status quo and the comprehensive analysis of slope farmlands. The results show that the area of slope farmlands in Huaihe River Basin is 956.6 thousand hm2, which mainly distribute in the Tongbai-Dabie mountainous area, Funiu mountainous area, Yimeng mountainous area and Yangtze River & Huaihe River hilly area. Lithoidal slope farmland, erathy & lithoidal slope farmland, sandy slope farmland and earthy slope farmland are the main four types of slope farmland. Based on analyzing the characteristics and the harmfulness of soil and water loss, and the main problems during the comprehensive treatments, as well as the results of soil and water conservation and the experiences of transforming slope into terrace management, the paper proposes the administration ways and main technology patterns for different types of slope farmland.
