Abstract:
Slope hedgerow has become an important bioengineering technology for slope improvement due to its low cost and remarkable ecological function. The relevant research results on the slope hedgerow technology were compiled and, based on a new perspective of ecosystem services, the concept and classification of slope hedgerows, the technical points of species selection and spatial structure were elaborated. The support services, regulation services, and supply services, etc. provided by slope hedgerows were explored, and the existing issues in the current study were analyzed. In the future, the research on the theoretical basis and evaluation methodology system about ecosystem services of slope hedgerows should be strengthened, the microscopic mechanisms of ecosystem services of slope hedgerows should be explored, the comprehensive technical system of slope hedgerows species selection, spatial allocation and management should be improved, and the scope of trial planting and promotion efforts should be gradually increased.
