- Abstract:
-
River hydrological process and corresponding coverage of forest in watersheds in middle Loess Plateau were analyzed in this paper. The results showed that there was an obvious decline trend of runoff generation index with increasing of coverage of forest. Output of most runoff was kept and distribution of runoff in dry season and flood season turned to uniform with more forest in watershed. Influenced by variation of rainfall, interannual variation of runoff in mountain watersheds with more forest was greater than that with less forest. More soil was conserved with increase of forest area, erosion modulus decreased by 46.19% with forest ration changing from 10% to 20%. The soil erosion caused by high intensive rainfall was focused on flood season in more forest watersheds and companied with more interannual variation comparing with less forest watershed.
