The study developed an indicator system to assess the health of ecosystems in hilly gully regions of the Loess Plateau. By focusing on factors like resources, environment, social development, and ecological balance, the researchers created a framework with 25 indicators across 4 levels. This system aims to help evaluate the ecosystem health of small watersheds in these areas.
