Abstract

There are about 270,000 gullies over 500 meters in length on the Loess Plateau, and the average soil water content in the gullies is nearly three times that of the slope surface of the Loess Plateau. In the crisscrossed gullies on the Loess Plateau, there are very rich reserve resources of cultivated land and potential for increasing grain production. How to manage channel ecologically and make full use of channel resources is a problem that needs to be paid attention to. This study puts forward five factors affecting gully governance, and pays more attention to the systematization, integrality and coordination of protection, governance and utilization, which can provide reference standards for more comprehensive and accurate implementation of gully governance and land construction projects, and provide technical support for promoting economic development, ecological environment improvement and new rural construction in western China and old revolutionary base areas. It is conducive to ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.
