A New Method to Estimate the Cover Management Factor on the Loess Plateau in China
ObjectiveTo investigate the combined effect of crop cover and crop management practices on preventing soil loss and improving the accuracy of C-factor estimation.MethodsSix millet plots with different treatments
i. e.
crop plot (C1)
crop-roughness plot (C2)
crop-crust plot (C3)
bare plot (B1)
roughness plot (B2)
and crust plot(B3)
were established and the soil loss at four growth stage was determined under simulated rainfall. The C factor was calculated using soil loss ratio (SLR). The major factors affecting SLR were also analyzed and their correlations with SLR were then regressed through numerical simulation using MATLAB. Subsequently
the SLR estimation models designed for soil erosion prediction on the Loess Plateau could be built. Finally
the C factor could be calculated using the proposed SLR estimation model combined with the distribution curve of rainfall erosivity.ResultsSurface roughness and soil crust could reduce soil loss in crop plot. Compared with SLRcrop
SLRcrop-roughness and SLRcrop-crust were on average 21.00% and 16.50% lower
respectively. The model formulas of crop plot
crop-roughness plot
crop-crust plot were obtained
through validating by field soil and water loss data conducted in Chunhua County
the model formulas could achieve accurate prediction. The estimated C values for the whole growth stage were 0.30
0.25 and 0.25
respectively
with the Nash coefficients being 0.96
0.87 and 0.75
respectively.ConclusionThe results can provide some insights for estimating C values at national scales.
