Effect of Mulch Structure on Runoff and Sediment Yield Under Simulation Rainfall
Vegetation has good function of soil and water conservation. Careful understanding the relationship between the structural characteristics of vegetation and the production of runoff is the basis for studying the erosion control function of vegetation. In this paper
the effects of five vegetation structures (shrubs
herbs
litter
shrubs + herbs
shrubs + herbs + litter) and erosive rainfall (60
90
120 mm/h) on the process of erosion were investigated by artificial simulated rainfall experiments with typical forest vegetation in Central Hubei. The results showed that: (1) The runoff and sediment yield increased rapidly at first
then increased slowly with the rainfall time
and finally reach a stable trend. Rainfall intensity was the dominant factor of slope erosion and sand production
and showed a significant positive correlation with flow production time
flow production rate and sand production rate (p < 0.01). (2) With or without litter
vegetation coverage and plant density were the main factors affecting runoff and sediment yield on the slope. The sediment concentration of runoff under different covering structures was as follows: herb > shrub > litter > herb+shrub > shrub and grass withered. (3) The priority of structural characteristic parameters on runoff and sediment yield was: coverage
biomass
plant density
diversity index
that was
horizontal structure > vertical structure > species composition > spatial pattern. The results of the study aim to reveal the mechanism of the role of vegetation structure on slope erosion
and provide scientific reference for the construction of soil erosion models in southern woodlands.
