The area of land that is affected by soil erosion in the Yangtze River has been re-duced by 146,000 km2(accounting for 27%of the entire Yangtze River)since 2000.However,the contributions of different tributaries to this soil erosion decline and the underlying causes have not been determined.Here we quantify the soil erosion decline in the Yangtze River and the impacts of the Grain-for-Green Programme(GFGP)and climate change using the RUSLE model and statistical methods.The results were as follows:(1)After the implementation of the GFGP,soil erosion decreased in ten sub-basins excluding the Dongting Lake catchment;(2)Soil erosion was mainly affected by the GFGP and the rainfall erosivity.Specifically,the con-tributions of the GFGP and rainfall erosivity to soil erosion decline are estimated to be 70.12%and 29.88%,respectively.(3)"Scenario #9"means the combination of slope(15°-25°)of retired farmland converted to shrub land and slope(>25°)of retired farmland converted to grassland.Considering scenario feasibility and management targets,Scenario #9 was the most appropriate land use scenario for the Yangtze River.This study offers insights into managing and reducing soil erosion in the future.
