- Abstract:
-
The combination of LIDAR and GIS is an important method in the quantitative research of slope-gully erosion of hill. In this study, the gully can be regarded as a composition of numerous sections, the variation characteristics of a plurality of continuous sections reflect the gully erosion development characteristics. Based on the soil loss data collected from 4 events of individual rainfall experiments measured by LIDAR, we used the GIS desktop software to turn the data to DEM, and then extract the width and length by cross-section analysis. The results showed that the position of 3.5 m to 5.5 m was the most active gully erosion site and the key position moved up as the rainfalls went on; the headwater erosion occurred in the early and medium term of the erosion, the collapse and erosion of the gully cliff were the main process. Cross-section analysis is an effective method to study the temporal and spatial patterns of gully erosion development, and provids a new way on the quantitative research of soil erosion.
