[Method] The research explored effects of autumn plowing, autumn rotary cultivation, autumn ridging, and rotary cultivation before spring sowing on physical and chemical properties. [Result] By autumn plowing, surface soils were seriously eroded, more water was evaporated, and more nutrients lost; by autumn rotary cultivation, surface soils were seriously eroded also, reducing wa- ter content and nutrients; by autumn ridging, surface soils were slightly eroded, so that evaporation was light and fewer nutrients lost; by rotary cultivation before spring sowing, soil erosion was the lightest, with more water and nutrients maintained. [Conclusion] It is effective for improving anti-wind erosion by no-tillage during fallow period and land reclamation before sowing in semi-dry areas.展开更多
