Abstract: We show persistence of both Anderson and dynamical localization in Schr"odinger operators with non-positive (attractive) random decaying potential. We consider an Anderson-type Schr"odinger operator with a non-positive ergodic random potential, and multiply the random potential by a decaying envelope function. If the envelope function decays slower than $|x{|}^{-2}$ at infinity, we prove that the operator has infinitely many eigenvalues below zero. For envelopes decaying as $|x{|}^{-alpha}$ at infinity, we determine the number of bound states below a given energy $E<0$, asymptotically as $alphadownarrow0$. To show that bound states located at the bottom of the spectrum are related to the phenomenon of Anderson localization in the corresponding ergodic model, we prove: (a) these states are exponentially localized with a localization length that is uniform in the decay exponent $alpha$; (b)~ dynamical localization holds uniformly in $alpha$.
