Spatial Distribution of Rill Erosion Intensity on Loess Slope and Its Morphology Differentiation Characteristics
To explore the spatial differentiation characteristics of rill erosion
artificial rainfall experiments were used to analyse stimulate the rill erosion process of slope under different rainfall intensities and slopes
and the variation characteristics of rill erosion intensity and morphology along the slope direction were discussed. The results showed that with the increase of slopes and rainfall intensities
rill erosion was increasing. Under specific treatments
rill erosion intensity increased first and then decreased in space; the rill morphology parameters
such as rill width
rill depth and rill split degree
also increased first and then decreased in space
and the peak values appeared in the middle of the slope. Rill width and rill depth had a very significant positive correlation with the amount of rill erosion
and the evolution of rill erosion intensity and morphology was consistent. The runoff collection leaded to the increased power of runoff erosion in the middle of the slope
where the ditch wall collapse and undercut erosion were serious
and rill width and rill depth were enlarged. However
the rill erosion under the slope was lower due to the large amount of sediment concentration and the stable base level of soil erosion. Severe erosion tended to occur in the middle of the slope
so it was necessary to strengthen prevention and control measures or take measures to intercept and drain water. The research results could provide theoretical and technical support for the prevention and control of rill erosion.
