英文摘要 |
Understanding soil erosion processes at different landscape positions is important in order to predict and control
watershed soil losses. Rare earth elements (REEs) can be used to trace eroded soil sources but their efficacy may
be soil dependent. We constructed a miniature watershed model of a small watershed located in the Three
Gorges Area of China, and used oxides of eight REEs to trace the erosion of a purple soil. The miniaturewatershed
was divided into eight regions containing a different landform type as a potential sediment source. A different
REE was applied in each region. Redistributions of the REEs under three successive simulated rainfall events
with intensities of 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 mm min−1 were examined. The percentage contribution from each region to
the total soil loss fromthewatershed fluctuated relative to landform type during the three rainstorms. Contributions
from the lower main gully decreased before stabilizing, while those from the upper main gully increased
before decreasing, and those from other sources all increased before stabilizing. Overall, the contribution of the
gully system, comprising main and branch gullies, was greater than that of the slopes. Contributions from the
gully system tended to decrease with increases in rainfall intensity and rainstorm duration while those from
the slopes increased. A comparison of the calculated and actual soil loss masses indicated that the accuracy of
the REE tracing method was less for the coarse textured purple soil than those previously found for fine textured
soils. The increased errors, likely due to the assumption used in the calculation that there is no particle size selectivity
during erosion, needs to be addressed. This pilot study provided a technical reference for the use of REEs in
monitoring sediment sources from a natural watershed, and a theoretical basis for soil conservation in the Three
Gorges Area. |
