Abstract
This project is to build soil and water loss plots of betel palms under different slopes at Lienhuachih Research Center of Taiwan ForestryResearch Institute. The soil and water loss plots will be treated with different locations of buffer forest strips for measuring surface runoff and soil erosion in second year. Based on field data of surface runoff and soil erosion, the best location of buffer forest strips will be identified for helping management of illegal planting fruits on hillslope of national forested lands.
