Results showed that sediment yielded from slope chiefly come from arable land and bare land located at slope,and the quantity of sediment yielded from arable land located at the slope above 25°accounted for about 50% of the total sediment yielded from slope.
Land cover types had significant effects on sediment yield of slope. At the same time,the amount of sediment could be decreased 71.05%-95.58% if the forest cover rate reached 70%-80%.
The contents of clay,silt and nutrient of sediment decreased approximately with time change,and the direct correlations were close among the contents of clay and silt and the contents of nutrient.
Clay enrichment and nutrient enrichment occurred in sediment,but the enrichment ratio was different: Clay was 1.23 in watermelon land and 1.20 in rape land,total nitrogen and rapidly available phosphorus was higher than 1.3,and total phosphorus and hydrolysable nitrogen was 1.1~1.3.
The volumetric weight of the sediment could be reduced, and its porosity could be improved while the sediment was mixed with the natural soil by the ratio of 1∶1 or 1∶ 2 in bulk, or the straw, 5% the bulk of the correspondinging sediment, CaO, 0.5% the bulk of that, the peat, 6.7% the bulk of that was added sequentially again.
The plot experiments were conducted to study the effects of land utilization of municipal sludge and lake sediment on nutrients and heavy metals(Cd,Pb) in soil-plant system.
The analysis results for the properties of physics and chemistry of the sediment were as followings: the structure of the sediment was denser, and the permeability was worse because its volumetric weight was higher and its porosity was lower.
The hillslope erosion processes include soil separation, sediment transport and sediment precipitate, which these three process result from the rainfall splash erosion and runoff erosion.
The wind erosion sediment of the plough land was 2.21 g/m~2 , that of grassland was 0.31 g/m~2 , that of woodland was 0.28 g/m~2 . The sand transporting quantity of the plough land was the most, the grassland's erosion was ewer and the woodland's erosion was the least.
The variables studied were transport of sand, underlying surface roughness, windblown sediment, wind-sand flow structure, soil mechanical composition and amount of wind erosion.
At a height of 0-20 cm, the height increased while the sediment discharge percent of sand flux decreased; there were significant differences in the sand flow formation under different land-use types.
At the same time, better correlative relationship between runoff and sediment production and rainfall and rainfall intensity were testified by multiple regression, but the correlation decreased gradually with the increase of canopy density of forest.
In modelling of sediment yields,the effects of time-variation of geomorphotgic and geologic factors on soil erosion were generally neglected. Errors of this neglection affect-ed the sediment yield models obviously. In this paper,a revised universal soil erosion e-quation was selected, the effects of errors of this neglection on it were tested by non-parametric hypothetical test method of Kolmogorov-Smirnov for a 22-year period within 21 catchments of the middle Huanghe River region,and the resul...
In order to investigate the rule of soil erosion and sediment transportation in basins of the upper Yangtze river,the Lin stream,a tributary of the middle Jialing river,has been selected as a typical basin to be analysed and studied.Based on the data of rainfall,\runoff and sediment transportation obtained from site investigation,field test and observed from 1960 to 1991,equations for calculating the sediment amount and the maximum sediment discharge have been established respectivel...
According to the theory of conceptural model of coupled simulation.the paper applies thecoupled model of runoff and sediment of a basin into the evaluation of water and sediment reduction benefits through soil conservation measures. First of all,It devides various measures intotype of water reduction (or type of storing water and retaining sediment) and type of vegetation.then use the model to evaluate separately the benefits of water and sediment reduction caused byusing the two kin...
