The impact on soil and water conservation and ecological environment caused by large-scale coal mining subsidence area has aroused widespread concerns

and finding a new monitor method on water and soil loss caused by fully mechanized long-wall coal mining is of great significance. A new monitor method called monitor strips can be used on the monitoring of this mining subsidence area. The monitor strips is a timeseries and cross-space three-dimensional monitoring system with a reasonable layout of monitoring strip and comprehensive application of various monitoring measures

in considering with local conditions of topography

ground cover，transportation

agricultural production and other factors. It characterized by integrated arrangement and easy management，concentrated monitoring measures，comprehensive concerning of all monitoring items and with large amount of information. It is a useful attempt on the exploration and innovation of soil and water conservation monitoring

however it need further examination in practice.
