Spatiotemporal Variability of Soil Erosion in Yangling District Based on GIS and RS
Soil erosion is an important factor in destroying land resources in the Loess Plateau. In order to understand the current situation of soil erosion in Yangling District of the Loess Plateau
the temporal and spatial distributions of soil erosion were analyzed using GIS and RS techniques. T General Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was also used to evaluate the erosion intensity and its temporal and spatial variability. The results showed that the soil erosion in Yangling District was mainly dominated by slightly erosion and mild erosion. From 2010 to 2014
the proportion of soil erosion intensity was basically stable. The relationships between soil erosion and slope and elevation indicated that the gentle slope of less than 15° in Yangling District was dominated by slight and light erosion. With the increases of slope
the slight erosion decreased
and the ratios of strong
extremely intense and severe erosions increased. The areas of soil erosion intensity showed a trend of decreasing with the increase of elevation
and the peaks were mostly distributed in the 500~550 m elevation zone.
