On Soil and Water Conservation Efficiency and Water Loss Rate of Urban Forest

Weiling Li

Abstract

Soil and water conservation is an important ecological service of forest systems. To determine the effectiveness of forests in soil and water conservation, the loss modulus of soil and water is often employed. However, this is an imperfect concept. The authors advanced a new theory for the assessment of soil and water conservation, specifically presented an analysis of not only soil loss rate and water loss rate, but also soil and water loss rate.
