摘      要：Red beds cover approximately 9.5%of China,and are home to approximately 144 million *** total,83%of these lands are distributed in humid regions making it an important part of research on red bed soil erosion in China in these *** paper presents the main types of land degradation in red bed landscapes and the status of current soil erosion in a typical red bed basin,the Nanxiong Basin located in the north of Guangdong Province,China,and establishes the connection between management strategies and regional economic development in humid red bed regions of *** soil erosive modulus was calculated in the Nanxiong Basin by using RUSLE(The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation).The results of overlapping analyses demonstrated that appropriate measures,such as the Return Farmland to Forests initiative,should be taken at the junction of central red bed areas and mountainous areas in order to mitigate current soil *** examples are presented to demonstrate this:the tourism development in ***,a noted scenic mountainous area near Nanxiong Basin,and the land degradation mitigation in the Nanxiong *** examples promote local economic growth while simultaneously protecting the environment.A‘stakeholder strategy is pursued at ***,which can help residents to understand their positive effects on the environment as well as increase their *** second example,in Nanxiong City,showcases how local farmers became stakeholders by implementing contract responsibility and self-support systems for economic forests and terraced land in the 1980s.
