Abstract

Soil and water losses in purple soil area is becoming an increasingly severe problem, bringing enormous challenges to environmental protection in rural areas. In this study, simulated rainfall experiments were conducted to analyse the effects of rainfall and the slope conditions on the soil and water loss. Purple soil from a typical slope in the Beibei District of Chongqing was selected as the experimental soil. Twenty rainfall scenarios with varying rainfall intensities and slope conditions were created in the simulation. The results indicate that the runoff initiation time shortened with an increased rainfall intensity and slope gradient. There was a logarithmic relationship between the effect of the rainfall amount on both the runoff intensity and sediment yield intensity. Generally, both the runoff and sediment yield showed a positive linear relationship with the rainfall intensity under different slope gradient conditions. In terms of the same rainfall intensity, both the runoff intensity and sediment yield intensity increased with the slope. Furthermore, a critical slope gradient for the soil and water loss was found between 20° and 25°. This study aimed to provide a reference for soil and water conservation research in a purple soil area.
降雨和坡度对紫色土水土流失的影响
紫色土地区水土流失问题日益突出,给农村环境保护带来了巨大挑战。本研究通过模拟降雨试验,分析了降雨和边坡条件对水土流失的影响。选取重庆市北北区某典型边坡的紫色土为试验土。模拟中创建了20个不同降雨强度和坡度条件的降雨场景。结果表明,随着降雨强度和坡度的增加,径流起始时间缩短。降雨量对径流强度和产沙强度的影响呈对数关系。总的来说,在不同坡度条件下,径流和产沙量与降雨强度呈正线性关系。在相同降雨强度下,径流强度和产沙强度均随坡度的增加而增加。此外,水土流失的临界坡度在20°至25°之间。本研究旨在为紫色土地区的水土保持研究提供参考。
