- Abstract:
-
Ephemeral gully erosion is an important erosion type in hilly area of Loess Plateau. The influence of rainfall intensity, area of upper catchment, gradient and tillage to ephemeral gully was studied preliminarily by simulating experiments. Main conclusions as follows: there was positive correlation between ephemeral gully erosion velocity and slope gradient, rainfall intensity, upper catchment area; Tillage changed the response relationship between rainfall intensity, slope gradient, upper catchment area and erosion velocity by changing the surface soil structure. Erosion velocity showed accelerating trend from small slope and small catchment area to steep slope and large catchment area. On lesser gradient slope, tillage reduced the erosion changes invited by rainfall intensity significantly, but on bigger gradient slope, tillage increased erosion velocity under bigger rainfall intensity. This study can provide with theoretical support for understanding characteristic of ephemeral gully erosion deeply, developing the mechanism.
