Specifically speaking, explored the driving principles of interacting relation between vegetation restoration and soil on the Loess Plateau, and the technical systems and models of ecological functional area construction for small watershed. Also built the technical system of increasing production for dry farming centered by “Innovation of Winter Wheat”, and participated in the project about wide application of ecological agricultural model for small watershed in southern mountain area of Ningxia.Besides, established the benefit evaluation methods of rain water efficient utilization in semi-arid mountain area, studied the mechanisms of soil carbon sequestration under the adjustment and control of soil structure, and built the technical system of conservation and efficient utilization about water and soil resources. Meanwhile, and supervised about 20 graduated students.
