Effects of Slope Gradient and Rainfall Intensity on Nitrogen Loss Under Artificial Simulated Rainfall
In order to investigate the effects of different slope gradients (5°
8°
15° and 25°) and rainfall intensities (60
90
120 and 150 mm/h) on TN (total nitrogen) loss in surface runoff and subsurface flow
an artificial simulated rainfall experiment was conducted
and decomposed granite soil was taken as the experiment object. As the test design
the rainfall duration was 90 min after the appearance of surface runoff
and the test ended up when the subsurface flow disappeared. The results showed that: (1) The loss concentrations of TN in surface runoff declined rapidly at the early stage
and increased with the reduction of rainfall intensity and the increasing of slope gradient
and then tended to be stable. (2) The loss concentrations of TN in subsurface flow were significantly higher than those in surface runoff
and the curves of TN loss concentration in subsurface flow all followed a law of “rising-falling-slightly rising-steady”. Generally
the loss concentrations increased with the reduction of rainfall intensity and the increasing of slope gradient. (3) The total losses of TN in surface runoff and subsurface flow were both increased with the increasing of rain intensity and slope gradient. Subsurface flow was the main approach of TN loss on slope
and its proportion could reach 91.26% to 99.61%. The proportion of TN loss in surface runoff increased with the enhancement of rainfall intensity. (4) Rainfall intensity and runoff volume were both extremely significantly positively related to the TN loss in surface runoff and subsurface flow
while slope gradient only significantly positively correlated with the TN loss in subsurface flow. (5) There was a critical rainfall intensity between 90 mm/h and 120 mm/h
over which
the TN loss in surface runoff and its proportion in total loss would sharply rise.
