Soil erosion is a major problem in the Yellow River Basin: the river is one of the most
sediment-laden in the world. Although there is a rainfall gradient from 750 mm in southern
Shandong, to 200mm per year in northern Ningxia, most of the rainfed cropping area is in
regions with more than 400 mm...
