- Abstract:

Soil erosion is an important factor that threatens human ecological environment and social economy. In order to achieve more effective protection and management of land resources, based on the RUSLE model and GIS/RS spatial information technology, we analyzed and discussed the temporal and spatial changes of soil erosion and the migration characteristics of soil erosion gravity center on the southern slope of Qilianshan Mountains from 2000 to 2019. The results show that the soil erosion modulus on the southern slope of Qilianshan Mountain presented a decreasing trend from northwest to southeast in terms of spatial variation; the average soil erosion modulus increased from 1 966.63 t/(km2·a)in 2000 to 3 228.51 t/(km2·a)in 2005, and finally dropped to 2 299.06 t/(km2·a)in 2019; the amount of grassland soil erosion was the largest, which was 2.65×107~4.25×107 t/a, although the erosion was relatively serious, the center of gravity of soil erosion did not move significantly; among the five counties, Qilian County had the most severe soil erosion and the largest migration distance of the center of gravity; the amount of erosion was between 3.01×107 t/a and 4.83×107 t/a, the total migration was 351.89 m, and the migration rate was 17.59 m/a, indicating that soil erosion in Qilian County was unstable, and low-grade soil erosion easily transformed into high-grade erosion; the largest glacier migration in land use types was 367.78 m, the migration rate was 18.39 m/a. It is concluded that fixed-point treatment can be adopted for areas with less soil erosion and little center of gravity migration, and Qilian County should be monitored for a long time, and the comprehensive treatment project of soil and water conservation in Qilian County should be fully promoted to alleviate soil erosion. Compared with other ecological system, the grassland and forestland should be strengthened.
