Water and soil conservation technology of steep slope based on artificial vegetation restoration

The mountain steep slope is in serious soil erosion owing to the rain wash, and is prone to geological disasters. Restoring vegetation on steep slopes can effectively maintain water and soil, avoid disasters and protect the environment. The key point of restoring vegetation is to solve the difficulties of soil conservation on steep slopes and satisfy the basic needs of vegetation growth. Based on the design and discussion of vegetation species selection, growth hole design, substrate soil ratio and water and soil conservation facilities on steep slopes, a water and soil conservation technology based on artificial vegetation restoration is proposed. The results show that the soil with a certain thickness is successfully maintained on the steep slope and the artificial vegetation is restored.
