structures and functions get better by the measures of the man made restorations for the degenerated ecologies. The ecological types are increased

the area of the stable ecological types of water and soil conservation forests

terraces

enclosures of the hillside for regeneration is added whiling the area of the fragile ones of steep slope fields and waste lands is decreased. In general
