Basic Information
Scope
Water and soil conservation forest and grass measures are one of the most commonly used and widely covered biological measures in comprehensive watershed management, slope farmland management, and ecological restoration of disturbed areas from mining and construction projects. They mainly include afforestation, fencing, artificial grass planting, replanting and reseeding, degraded grassland improvement, and supporting nurturing and protection. The implementation effect of forest and grass measures often shows a significant temporal succession characteristic: in the early stage, it is greatly affected by site conditions, seed source quality, construction season, management intensity, and extreme climate; in the middle and late stages, it is coupled with factors such as the stability of community structure, soil improvement process, and pest and disease risk. Therefore, it is difficult to comprehensively reflect the true contribution of forest and grass measures to surface coverage, slope erosion control, and ecological function restoration with one-time, static acceptance indicators, and it is also not conducive to timely identifying risks such as low survival rate, degraded grassland rebound, or lack of management. Recovery rate is one of the key indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of forest and grass measures, which is typically used to describe the degree to which vegetation recovery reaches the target or reaches a stable level in a certain period in the project or area. Recovery rate includes both biological survival and preservation, as well as the improvement of soil and water conservation functions in terms of coverage and erosion resistance. The recovery paths of different regions, different site types, and different measure models vary significantly, and they fluctuate with the impact of rainfall, disturbance intensity, and the frequency of replanting and reseeding. To support the full-process management, performance evaluation, and adaptive governa
