"Relieving and de-farming" (RD) and "rebuilding terrace and de-farming" (RTD) are two more mature ones among various de-farming modes. Taking the loess hilly-gully region as a case, this paper summarized the basic characteristics of RD and RTD modes, calculated the sizes of de-farming slope farmland, rebuilt terraces, enlarged garden plots and restored vegetation, and compared the differences of two modes in terms of de-farming area, ecological reestablishment index, investment demand amount and benefits. The results showed that RTD mode has many advantages, including suitable investment, sufficient grain supply and great benefits, and will be the best ecological reestablishment mode in the loess hilly-gully region, and RD mode which is being carried out in this region should be replaced by RTD mode as soon as possible.展开更多

A case study was applied in combination with the theoretical analysis. The results indicated that the biomass productivity of the de-farming subsystem decreased by 38.4-72.3% compared with that of farming subsystem in the ecosystem. The main function of de-farming subsystem was focused on ecological productivity, it caused the ideal beneficial recycling ‘defarming → planting grass → raising animals → earn money＇ difficult to be realized. With the differentiation of de-farming subsystem, the natural and social resources input to the farming subsystem were accumulated. This laid a basis for the new attributes of economic productivity to be upgraded. The case study indicated that the economic productivity of the ecosystem was increased by 8.85-13.35 times due to re-coupling between the de-farming subsystem and the farming subsystem as well as coupling between microhabitat differentiation and crop production in the subsystems, where the microhabitat differentiation could enrich water and fertilizer in the same field. It was concluded that the important mechanisms to enhance the system productivity in the ecotone between agriculture and animal husbandry of North China included structure rebuilding and opening of the de-farming ecosystem and taking the advantage of complementary cooperative production among different regions under the market economy and rebuilding an open agro-pasture production structure,展开更多

The results showed: In five years after the beginning of the project of Grain for Green, the concentration and inventory of SOC in the 0～30 cm soil layer under most reafforestation patterns were higher than those under contrast 2 (cropland) conditions, while the concentration and inventory of SOC in the 0～60 cm soil layer did not change or even decreased in some cases. The concentration and inventory of SOC and the decreasing magnitude of SOC with the soil profile depth under all the studied reafforestation patterns were lower than those under contrast 1 (shrubbery land) conditions, which received the least impact of land use change. It is thus suggested that the impact of the five-years reafforestation patterns on the SOC in the 0～60 cm soil layer is insignificant. In contrast, the impact of the land use change could be one of the controlling factors affecting SOC in the three gorges reservoir area.展开更多
