    Liu Bingzheng1, Wu Faqi 1

    Owing to the loose, homogeneous and uniform texture of loess, steep slopes are subject to severe water and soil loss during heavy precipitation. The movement of transferred soil destroys resources, decreases soil fertility and production and constrains local economic development. Systems of improved local husbandry techniques, which have proved effective in soil and water conservation, are described in some detail.
