50 Soil and Water Conservation Functions of Seabuckthorn and Its Role in Controlling and Exploiting Loess Plateau Wu Qinxiao 　Zhao Hongyan ABSTRACT 　The study showed that the 5 to 7 yearold seabuckthorn stands canop y can intercept 8 5 % - 2 ～49 0 % of annual rainfall and reduce the kinetic energy of raindrops. Its litter amounts to 5 46t ·hm - 2 which has maximum water holding capacit y of 15 31t ·hm . In the case of covering soil surface with lit ter of 1 cm the soil and water loss will be controlled basically. Its root system can also increase the soil an tiscourability and antierodibility. Compared with the soil without root system , the scoured sediment in seabuckthorn stand is decreased by 55 %～88 %. According to the determination in the runoff plots in rain season in 1988～1994 , the seabuckthorn stands can make the most use of soil and water conservation from fourth to fifth year after its planting , and compared with farmland it decreased runoff by 87 1 % and soil loss by 99 0 % , respectively , owing to covering soil with litter and strengthening soil by root system. Be - 2 sides , seabuckthorn stands can produce fuel of about 10～30 t ·hm every 4～5 years , raise the content of organic matter and nitrogen in soil by 115 % and 90 % and the yield of fruit , on an average , 500kg · - 2 hm . All these have great significance for controlling the
