| 英文摘要 | Rill erosion accounts for approximately 70% of the total erosion of upland areas in China's Loess Plateau. A laboratory rainfall experiment with deionized water was conducted to examine the process of rill evolution and the relationship between runoff, rill evolution, and erosion rates for clay loam and loess soils given a fixed slope gradient (10 degrees) and two rainfall intensities (1.5 and 2.0 mm min(-1)). The results show that rills evolved from a series of parallel drop-pit chains along the down-slope direction. Clay loam soil produced rills under a rainfall intensity of 1.5 mm min(-1), and loess soil produced rills only under higher rainfall intensity. The temporal change in sediment concentration and erosion rate shows good consistency with the emergence of drop pits and rills. An increase in rainfall intensity had little effect on the sediment concentration and erosion rate for clay loam soil, whereas for loess soil, both increased rapidly and exceeded those of clay loam soil, with the emergence of a rill when the rainfall intensity was higher. Rills have a much greater effect on sediment concentration and erosion rate for loess soil than for clay loam soil. This study indicates that soil texture has a major impact on rill formation; clay loam soil is more subject to rill formation, but the rills formed are generally small and do not substantially increase soil loss. In contrast, the well-developed rills in silt loam soil can result in intensive soil loss, though rills occur infrequently. Basic understanding of these results, causes, and quantification are essential for the prediction and evaluation of soil loss. |
