Abstract

The zonal vegetation of the Taihang Mountains in Hebei province is dominated by deciduou broad-leaf forest.With the mountain increase in height, differently venical vegetation belts are formed,namely,mountain deciduou broad -leaf forest belt,mountain frigid-temperate coniferous forest belt and subalpi-neshrub meadow belt. So the Taihang Mountainsis considered as forest ecosystem.For a long time, excessive felling and destruction depleted the forest resourcs,which leads to soil erosion,serious imbalace of forest ecosystem,and the Haiho River system carries 1.4 hundred million tons of silts into the.sea every year.According to weather,land fertility and local conditions,the proper.utilization of the Tai-hang Mountains should be directed towards foresting dominantly,promoting a diversified economy,and combining forest with stock raising.Therefore,at present following measures should be taken: 1.Changing the existing farmland into forest land,and rationally utilizing resources step by step;2.Afforestng the Taihang Mountains to prevent soil erosion and establish a nice ecological environment.
