Annual variation in sediment connectivity in karst watersheds of southwest China
Sediment connectivity reflects the connectivity between sediment sources and sinks and contributes to understanding soil erosion and sediment transport processes. However, the potential effects of climatic factors and vegetation restoration on sediment connectivity have not been fully recognized, especially in the karst area of southwest China, which has a serious rocky desertification and fragile ecological environment. This study aims to quantify the connectivity index (IC), runoff, and sediment yield changes induced by the coupling impacts of climate change and vegetation restoration in six typical karst watersheds. Annual climate, vegetation, land use, soil, runoff, and sediment yield data were collected during 2000 ∼ 2019. The parameters of IC were calculated based on the source-sink landscape index. The Partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was used to quantify the impacts of climate change and vegetation restoration on changes in IC, runoff, and sediment yield. The results show that the average IC value ranged from 2.10 to 2.97 during 2000 ∼ 2019, with an insignificant decreasing trend. PLS-SEM analysis shows that climatic and vegetation factors explained 1 ∼ 7 % of the changes in IC values and 53 %∼90 % of the runoff dynamics. Climate factors, vegetation dynamics, runoff, and IC values together explained 21 %∼67 % of the variations in sediment yield. These results can facilitate understanding the temporal variation in IC and are significant for ecological restoration and sediment delivery control in karst areas.
期刊介绍:
Catena publishes papers describing original field and laboratory investigations and reviews on geoecology and landscape evolution with emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects of soil science, hydrology and geomorphology. It aims to disseminate new knowledge and foster better understanding of the physical environment, of evolutionary sequences that have resulted in past and current landscapes, and of the natural processes that are likely to determine the fate of our terrestrial environment.
Papers within any one of the above topics are welcome provided they are of sufficiently wide interest and relevance.
