In order to reveal the effect of land use change caused by the calculation of unit division in hydrological models on simulation result, eleven scenarios including 4 000, 3 200, 2 000, 1 500, 1 100, 800, 400, 200, 100, 50, 25 hm2 of the sub-watershed thresholds, were used to analyse the effect of land use spatial discretization on runoff and sediment simulation with the SWAT model. Terrain and soil data were input with a single terrain and soil data-set to fix the effect of terrain and soil data spatial discretization. The results showed that:(1)With the increasing number of sub-watersheds, the forestland area increased at first and then decreased, and the area of the forestland was higher than that of the actual forestland area in all scenarios; however, the area of cultivated land decreased with the increasing of the land use discretization degree, moreover, the area of water, grassland and construction land increased and gradually approached the actual area;(2)The spatial discretization of land use led to the decrease of annual average runoff yield(1.85%)and sediment yield(65.84%), which had a more significant effect on sediment yield than runoff;(3)The land use spatial discretization resulted in a significant decrease in the peak value of sediment in flood processes, and resulted in a significant decrease in the sediment yield of maximum one-day, continuous maximum five-day and continuous maximum seven-day(p<0.01)with the increasing of the discretization degree. In conclusion, sub-watershed division significantly changed the distribution of land use in the basin, and then induced the change of runoff and sediment yield parameters, finally, it led to the change of runoff and sediment simulation.
