Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
At present China faces various environmental problems such as air pollution, noise, soil erosion, etc., of which water pollution is the vital issue. In order to cope with the problem, it is significant to develop urban forest shelter belts, because forests have highly modified soils that promote infiltration of water, thereby reducing surface runoff, preventing NPS pollution. Organic matter, roots and soil fauna maintain the porosity and permeability of the forest floor, and evapotranspiration keeps soil unsaturated. While the replacement of forested areas with impervious surfaces increases runoff, prevents infiltration, and leads to elevated levels of phosphorus loading and eutrophication of waterways. Thus by building forest shelter belts they can protect waterways and produce clean water by controlling surface runoff, flooding and erosion, and promoting infiltration of water into forest soils.
