Since the 1950s, China has restored vegetation across the Loess Plateau; some studies have found that forestation could reduce water yield in drier areas

Restoring vegetation on China's Loess Plateau reduced soil erosion significantly. However, increased plant cover in this semi-arid region lowered water flow in rivers. Researchers found that water yield declined in some areas after extensive forestation efforts. Other regions experienced increased water yield due to higher precipitation and moisture recycling.
