英文摘要Step-pool morphology has a great impact on hydraulic resistance and energy dissipation, closely associated with channel stability. The occurrence of the maximum flow resistance condition suggests maximum channel stability, which has been widely found in linear erosion features including streams and rills. However, step-pool morphology in ephemeral gullies (EGs) on steep slopes remains unclear, compared with other linear erosion features. Thus, field investigation was conducted in the two EGs on steep slopes of the Chinese Loess Plateau. The H/L and (H/L)/S of 171 step-pools in the two EGs (64 % and 58 % slope gradients) were analyzed and compared with eight sets of literature data in other linear erosion features, where H, L, and S represent step height, step spacing, and channel slope gradient, respectively. The results demonstrated that the step-pool morphology in EG channels of the study area was controlled by S. Steeper channel slope led to larger step-pool instability. H/L increased with the S, ranging from 0.11 to 1.00. In the two EGs, the maximum flow resistance condition occurred in half of step-pools with (H/L)/S ranging from 1 to 2, while another half of step-pools had (H/L)/S below 1, indicating fewer stable arrangements, and were predominantly found at S larger than 0.4. By incorporating monitored data from EGs and literature data from other linear erosion features, the relationship between step-pool morphology and channel slope gradient was also identified. H/L increased linearly with S, while (H/L)/S decreased as S increased, following a power function. When S was between 0.068 and 0.448, the (H/L)/S fell into the range of 1 to 2, representing the occurrence of the maximum flow resistance condition. This study fills a gap in understanding step-pool morphology in EGs on steep slopes by comparing with other linear erosion features and underscores the critical role of channel slope gradient.
