Preventing and managing erosion. Programs to control erosion in Queensland began in the 1950s and have been very successful. The 3 main principles to control erosion are to: use land according to its capability. protect the soil surface with some form of cover. control runoff before it develops into an erosive force.
Soil erosion is seen as a problem of inappropriate land use practices and devegetation of the plateau over a long period under intensive human occupance, in the context of rural poverty and problematic and changing land ownership arrangements. Erosion on the Loess Plateau is not just a problem for local land management.
