Runoff and Sediment of Different Rainfall Types on Bare Slope in the Red Soil Region
In order to explore the characteristics of runoff and sediment of different rainfall types on bare slope in the red soil region
the data of 388 rainfall-runoff-soil erosion observations were collected from January 2013 to December 2020 in the red soil bare slope runoff community of Soil and Water Conservation Center of Changting Country
and rainfall events were divided by K-means clustering method into 4 types for analyzing. The results indicated that: (1) There were 3 main rainfall types in the study area
including A (short duration
large rainfall intensity
small rainfall amount
and low frequency)
B (long duration
light rainfall intensity
large rainfall amount
and medium frequency) and C (medium duration
light rainfall intensity
small rainfall amount
and high frequency). Types B and C were the main sources of runoff and sediment yield on bare slope
which contributed more than 85% of runoff and soil erosion; (2) Runoff depth and soil erosion of single-rainfall were linearly positively correlated with the rainfall amount (P)
maximal rainfall intensity of 30 min (I30) and rainfall kinetic energy (E)
and presented a power function relationship with rainfall erosivity (EI30). However
the total interpretation of rainfall characteristics on runoff and sediment was less than 65%
and decreased with the increase of rainfall duration; (3) There were 3 kinds of constraints between rainfall characteristics and runoff and sediment of bare slope
and the constraint line showed the influence of rainfall characteristics on the potential maximum runoff depth and soil erosion. The potential maximum runoff depth of single-rainfall was mainly determined by P and E
and the potential maximum soil erosion of single-rainfall had a ceiling of 800~900 t/hm2. The runoff and soil erosion characteristics of bare slope in the red soil region were analyzed from three aspects: single factor influences
comprehensive influences and constraint effects of rainfall characteristics
which provided a data basis for the soil erosion control in the red soil region.
