Abstract
AbstractThe vulnerable nature of the environment coupled with monoculture agriculture systems have caused poor land productivity in the Loess Plateau region. Moreover, exploitation of mineral resources for energy may arise negative environmental impacts.Both the Grain-for-Green project and China Western Development Action, which were launched in the end of 1990s and the beginning of the twenty-first century, respectively, emphasize ecological protection and economic development in this region. In this chapter, we show how ecological restoration and protection have contributed not only to soil and water conservation, but also to regional ecological protection and economic development. Furthermore, we present the challenges faced as a result of such development interventions.KeywordsEcological restorationSoil and water conservationRural–urban migration and population urbanizationDevelopment-related challenge
