[Objective] Conservation benefits of soil and water under different measures of nuts forest in red soil hilly region were demonstrated to provide support for ecological restoration and construction in this area.[Methods] Experimental plots in hickory forest zone in Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province were setted with different measures and field monitoring facilities. Effects of soil and water conservation were demonstrated.[Results] The benefits of different conservation measures ranked as:tea tree buffer zone > Yangtong > blank control. The construction of intercepting ditch, drainage ditch, plus the interplanting of Yangtong and other economic crops as tea tree under hickory forest hadremarkable conservation benefits in preventing and controlling of soil and water loss, and also in economic benefits.[Conclusion] The implement of soil and water conservation measures of hickory forest have great water storage and soil conservation benefits, especially for the engineering measures of interception ditch, it is significant.
