Research Progress on Soil Erosion Process of Slope-Gully System on the Loess Plateau of China

Abstract:

The Loess Plateau has the highest erosion rates in the world. Studying soil erosion process on the Loess Plateau has received more attention in recent years. Vertical erosion distribution zone is an important feature on the loess plateau. Infiltration, sediment concentration, erosion pattern and characteristic of sediment and water transportation have a clear distribution too. Research on soil erosion process can provide basis for constructing physical process based soil erosion mode and can provide scientific basis for laying out soil and water conservation measures effectively. So, spatial variability of slope erosion pattern, sheet, rill, shallow gully and permanent gully erosion process dominated at different erosion zone as well as slope-gully coupling system were discussed in this paper. And then, further research issues have been presented in the future.
