- Abstract:
-
The spatial patterns of soil water loss were simulated in five different landscapes in Ruihe watershed on the Loess Plateau using distributed hydrological model SWAT. And results showed: (1) SWAT model can reasonably describe the soil water loss and its spatial pattern; (2) The background depth of the streams in most catchments of the upstream of Nahe River is 70 mm, accounting for 68.68% of the total catchments; and the depth of the streams of the downriver catchments is 60 mm, accounting for 68.68% of the total catchments, and most of the erosion modulus of the soil of the whole catchments is less than 8 t/hm2, with only a few between 8~20 t/hm2; (3) Both the runoff and sediment transport decreased with increase of land cover, companying by decrease of spatial heterogeneity and security of soil water loss;(4) The spatial heterogeneity of erosion modulus is more sensitive to land cover change than that of depth of runoff, and the order of the spatial heterogeneity of erosion modulus in 5 landscape types is farm-low density and ranks as grass landscape>bare-desert landscape>current landscape>forest-grass landscape>forest landscape.
