Abstract: Agricultural activities are one of the leading causes of influencing deforestation and land degradation, which desperately needs reasonable land use planning schemes. Land use planning is a beforehand task that needs to estimate the possible eco-hydrological consequences of land use changes at the watershed scale. The method based on combination of land use scenarios and hydrological model simulations usually provides guidance suggestions for land use planning and land management. However, the setting of land use scenarios often ignores the objective natural conditions in local region.
