Abstract
Abstract Since the operation of Xiaolangdi (XLD) Water Conservancy Hub, the reservoir area has witnessed significant changes in eco-environment through the impoundment, and some suggestions can be put forward for the future ecological construction of reservoirs by comparing these changes. This article explores the variation of microclimate, soil erosion, forest and grass coverage, regional animal and plant diversity, and ecotourism resources in the past two decades, and summarizes the contributions of XLD to the following aspects: the eco-environment protection and restoration, the construction of an ecological corridor and a biodiversity conservation network, and the eco-economic development of the Yellow River Basin. On this basis, three suggestions were presented for the ecological construction of XLD in the future: (1) carry out the ecological evaluation of XLD reservoir; (2) implement high-quality afforestation and beautification of the reservoir area; and (3) build a smart ecological monitoring system for XLD.
