Response law and prediction model of soil erosion considering vegetation and litter cover under different rainfall intensities in the Loess Plateau
Accurately predicting soil erosion rate on covered slopes can help formulate reasonable vegetation restoration schemes to prevent soil erosion. To study the impacts of vegetation and litter cover on slope soil erosion, this study conducted indoor artificial rainfall experiments under 15° and five rainfall intensities (RI = 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00 mm min−1). Three different treatments were studied: shrub coverage (CS) changing grass-shrub community slope (GS); Grass coverage (CG) changing grass-shrub community slope (SG); And litter-covered grass-shrub community slope (GSL). The variation of soil erosion on different treatments under rainfall conditions and the mechanism of each influencing factor were analyzed. The results showed that (1) vegetation and litter cover reduced the erosion rate (ER) for different experimental slopes. Compared with BS, the ER of GS, SG, and GSL decreased by 2.57–28.53 %, 5.54–68.33 %, and 23.85–69.63 %, respectively. In addition, with the increase of RI, ER increased, and the erosion reduction effect of grass, shrubs, and litter decreased. (2) With the increase of CG, CS, and litter biomass (WL), the contribution of grass, shrub and litter to the erosion reduction rate increased. The critical coverage ratio was determined when the erosion reduction contribution rate of each cover is dominant. CS/CV = 0.6 and WL/CV = 50 are the critical ratio for determining which is dominant, grass or shrub, and vegetation or litter. In addition, with the increase of RI, the contribution of erosion reduction rate of higher coverage vegetation and litter increased. (3) Under grass, shrubs, and litter cover, critical shear stress (τ0) of slope soil increased and soil erodibility coefficient (Kr) decreased, leading to the enhancement of soil erosion resistance. Compared with BS, the τ0 increased by 12.85–44.07 %, 18.70–81.97 %, and 44.07–123.87 %, respectively, the Kr decreased by 7.78–23.48 %, 16.73–58.91 %, and 39.47–73.07 %, respectively. (4) A prediction model of ER of covered slope under rainfall condition was established, which considered hydrodynamic characteristics and quantified the influence of surface cover. This model has good prediction accuracy and can provide useful insights for the erosion process of the Loess Plateau.
期刊介绍:
Soil & Tillage Research examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research:
The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.
