FIELD EXPERIMENTATION OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY IN CHINA
我国自然地理野外定位试验研究的进展

Since 1950's, a few physical geographers in China have pointed out that integrated studies should be implemented by investigations on physical, chemical and biological processes, and those studies should also be further linked into a whole. Meanwhile, significance of field experimentation in the studies mentioned above, ha3 been recognized as well. In this paper, progress in this direction was reviewed, and brief introductions were given to the following fields, respectively: heat and water balance, agro-ecology, desert, glaciology, snow-cover and avalanche, debrisflow, landslide, soil erosion, limnology, and swamp, which involve 18 field stations.
