Abstract: The Yimeng mountainous region of North China is a unique region with vulnerable ecosystems and under the most pressure from various risk sources. In recent years, this region has experienced rapid economic growth. However, the study area is vulnerable to environmental hazards and is seriously affected by soil erosion due to natural factors and human activities, thereby increasing the risk of environmental degradation in the Yimeng mountainous region of Shandong Province in North China.
