Through the research on the the controlling effects of shelter forest on nonpoint source pollution of agricultural lands in Taihu Lake area,we get some conclusions:The transfer and loss of N and P(main water pollutants) vary with means of rotation,types of crops and the amount of fertilizer.Shelter forest betweens farmlands and ditches can effectively stop and purify such elements as N and P in soil runoffs,thus controlling nonpoint source pollution of agricultural lands.Poplars with the characteristics of quickgrowing and high value are suitable to be planted as shelterforest in Taihu Lake Watershed.Based on the model of shelter forest,the width ratio of farmland to shelter forest is either between 100∶40 and 150∶40 or between 150∶60 and 200∶60. Such a model can not only save more farm land,but also purify water quality and protect ecological environment.
