- Abstract:
-
In order to understand the relationship between rainfall regimes, vegetation types and red soil erosion processes, collected measurements of 146 rainfall events in runoff plots on red soil slopes with different vegetation types in Xi Lake watershed, Caidian, Wuhan were analyzed. Based on K-means clustering, 146 rainfall events were classified into four rainfall regimes:regime A (medium amount, low intensity, long duration and high frequency of rainfall), regime B (extremely high amounts, extremely high intensity, short duration and low frequency of rainfall), regime C (high amounts, high intensity, medium duration and low frequency of rainfall) and regime D (low amounts, low intensity, short duration and high frequency of rainfall). Processes of soil erosion on the bare slope and the fruit-bearing forest slope had a large amount of runoff generation and sediment yield, a stable runoff-sediment relationship and weak capacity for water and soil conservation. More attention should be paid to rainfall regimes A and C in this type process. Processes of soil erosion on the broadleaved forest slope, coniferous forest slope, herbage slope and lawn slope had a small amount of runoff generation and soil erosion, an unstable runoff-sediment relationship and strong capacity for water and soil conservation under erosive rainfall except rainfall regimes B. More attention should be paid to rainfall regimes B and C in this type process.
