英文摘要 | Sediment dynamics is still imperfectly understood, especially at spatial scale in the highly erodible region of the Loess Plateau, and few studies have been heretofore conducted. Using 5-year continuous water and sediment records, three plots and three basins in the gullied rolling loess region were selected and sediment dynamics at spatial scale was studied. Results showed that the floods, where the peak discharge (Q(p)) did not come earlier than the sediment peak, were predominant in slope zones, occupying >90 and >70% of the total for the Mao slope and for the Entire slope, respectively. However, in basins, most of the sediment peaks (C(p)) lagged behind Q(p), implying that slope zone was the main origin of sediment. More than 50% of the events presented clockwise hysteresis loops in the Mao slope area, while almost all the events had anticlockwise hysteresis loops in basins. This can be attributed to less occurring frequency of hyperconcentrated flow, as well as its instability in slope zones, compared to those in the basins. Within these contexts, gravitational erosion made the highest sediment concentration (C) in Tuanshangou basin and median developing status of C-discharge (C-Q) relationships in the Entire slope area. This study provides insights into the protection of slope surface and disruption of the development of hyperconcentrated flow to reduce soil loss. |
