Abstract
To explore effects of conservation tillage measures on farmland soil wind erosion, Chinese journal papers published by the end of 2020 were retrieved through CNKI with the theme of "no-tillage or conservation tillage and soil wind erosion", and retrieved papers were compiled and analyzed.Results showed that field experiments of soil wind erosion by conservation tillage in China were all from arid and semi-arid farmland in the north, and research method was mainly field measurement with sand collector; research on soil wind erosion in conservation tillage was relatively small, and yield effect had always been focus of conservation tillage research; comprehensive analysis of relevant studies showed that conservation tillage could reduce soil wind erosion of farmland by 71.2% on average; conservation tillage was universal to reduce soil wind erosion on farmland, and a few studies concluded that conservation tillage could not reduce amount of soil wind erosion on farmland.
