- Abstract:
-
Simulated rainfall experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of slope gradients on characteristics of runoff, sediment and nutrient losses. The results showed that the runoff occurring times shortened with the increase of slope gradients, and the initial runoff time ranged from 0.63 minute to 1.62 minutes, which indicated that the runoff time shortened with the increase of slope gradients. For the different slope gradients, the runoff intensity increased with the increase of rainfall time, which tended to be stable after 20 minute rainfall and followed the power function, while the average infiltration rate decreased with the increase of rainfall time, which tended to be stable after 20 minute rainfall and followed the logarithmic function. Sediment yields on slope increased with the increase of slope gradients, in 0~20 minutes, the sediment yields on the slope increased with the increase of rainfall time, which were the highest during 20~40 minutes, and tended to be stable after 40 minutes. The contents of DP, K+, SEP and SEK increased with the increase of rainfall time. There were the varying degrees of positive correlation between sediment yields and nutrient contents on the slope, and the correlation coefficients in the slope gradients of 20°, 25° and 30° were much higher than those in the slope gradients of 5°, 10° and 15°, which implied that sediment yield on the slope could cause the increase of various kinds of nutrients, while sediment yields and nutrient contents on the slope had no further correlation with the increase of slope gradient.
