On May 31, the National Forum on Soil and
Water Conservation and Rural Revitalization in the Yellow River Floodplain Area,
sponsored by the China Soil and Water Conservation Society, the World Association
of Soil and Water Conservation and the Shandong Soil and Water Conservation
Society, was held in Xiajin County, Shandong Province, China. More than 40 experts
from more than 20 institutions, including the China Institute of Water
Resources and Hydropower Research, the Institute of Environment and Sustainable
Development in Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the
Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Institute of Water Resources Science, and
Beijing Forestry University, conducted exchanges and discussions on the theme
of "Soil and Water Conservation in the New Situation to Help Rural
Revitalization and High-Quality Development".
Many problems such as flooding, salinizaiton,
desertification existed in the Yellow River Floodplain Area, involving 110
counties (cities) in 5 provinces covering an area of 250,000 square kilometers.
The ecological environment of this area was very fragile, the cultivation
conditions were seriously deteriorated in the past. After long term treatment,
the general situation has been improved greatly. In the context of the new era
of comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization strategy, ecological
protection and high-quality development, this forum was organized to
"learning wisdom from the ancients, thinking current situation of
development, and creating a future path", will deepen the understanding of
the relationship between soil and water conservation and rural revitalization.
The forum discussed the development
direction, key technologies, scientific methods and implementation paths of
soil and water conservation in the Yellow River Floodplain Area under the new
situation. The invited experts gave reports with title of "Some
theoretical and practical issues between ecological protection and agricultural
development" "Focusing on the double carbon target and enhancing the
capacity of forest carbon sink" "The connotation, mechanism and
calculation of carbon sink for soil and water conservation" "Construction
of agricultural clean watershed in the context of rural revitalization"
"The sand industry contributes to the high quality development of green
ecology in the Yellow River Floodplain Area " "The role of soil
conditioner technology in soil erosion control " "Aquatic vegetation resistance
characteristics and sediment transport mechanism".
Prof. Duihu Ning, the president of WASWAC,
attended this forum. He hopes that this forum will be meaningful and helpful in
enhancing the scientific and technological innovation capacity of soil and
water conservation, in resolving the risk of soil erosion, and in creating a
green and safe ecological environment in the Yellow River Floodplain Area.
