The postgraduate research direction of soil and water conservation and desertification prevention and control mainly includes the following aspects:
1.Soil Science:
To study the formation, properties, classification, fertility and relationship between soil and water conservation and desertification control, including soil erosion mechanism, soil improvement technology and soil ecological function.
2.Soil and Water Conservation and Water Resources Management:
Research on soil erosion control, water source protection, water resources regulation and management, hydrology, water resources assessment and planning, etc., with the aim of protecting water resources and reducing land erosion damage.
3.Desertification control and land restoration:
Research on the process of desertification, the causes, impacts and prevention measures of land degradation, including ecological restoration, vegetation reconstruction, land use planning and management of desertified land.
4.Ecological environment assessment and monitoring
Research on environmental quality assessment, ecological environment monitoring methods and technologies, including the determination of environmental indicators, analysis and interpretation of environmental monitoring data, environmental impact assessment, etc.
5.Natural Disasters & Risk Management:
Research on the causes of natural disasters (e.g., floods, droughts, landslides, etc.) related to soil and water conservation and desertification control, risk assessment, and disaster prevention and recovery strategies.
6.New technologies for soil and water conservation:
Research and development of new soil and water conservation technologies, materials and equipment to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of soil and water conservation, including new flood control facilities, vegetation restoration technologies, soil amendments, etc.
7.Sustainable land management and agroecological engineering:
Research on sustainable land use and management strategies, as well as the application of agroecological engineering technologies in soil and water conservation and desertification control.
These directions cover theoretical research, technology development and practical application, aiming to cultivate professionals with professional knowledge and skills in soil and water conservation and desertification control. When choosing a postgraduate direction, students should consider it comprehensively according to their own interests, career planning, and the scientific research strength and faculty of each school. At the same time, different schools may have their own research priorities and special directions.
