The aim of this study is to analyze the susceptibility conditions to gully erosion phenomena in the Magazzolo River basin and to test a method that allows for driving the factors selection. The study area is one of the largest (225 km2) watershed of southern Sicily and it is mostly characterized by gentle slopes carved into clayey and evaporitic sediments, except for the northern sector where carbonatic rocks give rise to steep slopes. In order to obtain a quantitative evaluation of gully erosion susceptibility, statistical relationships between the spatial distributions of gullies affecting the area and a set of twelve environmental variables were analyzed. Stereoscopic analysis of aerial photographs dated 2000, and field surveys carried out in 2006, allowed us to map about a thousand landforms produced by linear water erosion processes, classifiable as ephemeral and permanent gullies. The linear density of the gullies, computed on each of the factors classes, was assumed as the function expressing the susceptibility level of the latter. A 40-m digital elevation model (DEM) prepared from 1:10,000-scale topographic maps was used to compute the values of nine topographic attributes (primary: slope, aspect, plan curvature, profile curvature, general curvature, tangential curvature; secondary: stream power index; topographic wetness index; LS-USLE factor); from available thematic maps and field checks three other physical attributes (lithology, soil texture, land use) were derived. For each of these variables, a 40-m grid layer was generated, reclassifying the topographic variables according to their standard deviation values. In order to evaluate the controlling role of the selected predictive variables, one-variable susceptibility models, based on the spatial relationships between each single factor and gullies, were produced and submitted to a validation procedure. The latter was carried out by evaluating the predictive performance of models trained on one half of the landform archive and tested on the other. Large differences of accuracy were verified by computing geometric indexes of the validation curves (prediction and success rate curves; ROC curves) drawn for each one-variable model; in particular, soil texture, general curvature and aspect demonstrated a weak or a null influence on the spatial distribution of gullies within the studied area, while, on the contrary, tangential curvature, stream power index and plan curvature showed high predictive skills. Hence, predictive models were produced on a multi-variable basis, by variously combining the one-variable models. The validation of the multi-variables models, which generally indicated quite satisfactory results, were used as a sensitivity analysis tool to evaluate differences in the prediction results produced by changing the set of combined physical attributes. The sensitivity analysis pointed out that by increasing the number of combined environmental variables, an improvement of the susceptibility assessment is produced; this is true with the exception of adding to the multi-variables models a variable, as slope aspect, not correlated to the target variable. The addition of this attribute produces effects on the validation curves that are not distinguishable from noise and, as a consequence, the slope aspect was excluded from the final multi-variables model used to draw the gully erosion susceptibility map of the Magazzolo River basin. In conclusion, the research showed that the validation of one-variable models can be used as a tool for selecting factors to be combined to prepare the best performing multi-variables gully erosion susceptibility model. 相似文献

This work summarizes the results of a geomorphological and bivariate statistical approach to gully erosion susceptibility
mapping in the Turbolo stream catchment (northern Calabria, Italy). An inventory map of gully erosion landforms of the area
has been obtained by detailed field survey and air photograph interpretation. Lithology, land use, slope, aspect, plan curvature,
stream power index, topographical wetness index and length-slope factor were assumed as gully erosion predisposing factors.
In order to estimate and validate gully erosion susceptibility, the mapped gully areas were divided in two groups using a
random partitions strategy. One group (training set) was used to prepare the susceptibility map, using a bivariate statistical
analysis (Information Value method) in GIS environment, while the second group (validation set) to validate the susceptibility
map, using the success and prediction rate curves. The validation results showed satisfactory agreement between the susceptibility map and the existing data on gully areas
locations; therefore, over 88% of the gullies of the validation set are correctly classified falling in high and very high
susceptibility areas. The susceptibility map, produced using a methodology that is easy to apply and to update, represents
a useful tool for sustainable planning, conservation and protection of land from gully processes. Therefore, this methodology
can be used to assess gully erosion susceptibility in other areas of Calabria, as well as in other regions, especially in
the Mediterranean area, that have similar morphoclimatic features and sensitivity to concentrated erosion. 相似文献

Assessment of soil erosion in a tropical mountain river basin of the southern Western Ghats,India using RUSLE and GIS 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation(RUSLE) model coupled with transport limited sediment delivery(TLSD) function was used to predict the longtime average annual soil loss, and to identify the critical erosion-/deposition-prone areas in a tropical mountain river basin, viz., Muthirapuzha River Basin(MRB; area=271.75 km~2), in the southern Western Ghats, India. Mean gross soil erosion in MRB is 14.36 t ha~(-1) yr~(-1), whereas mean net soil erosion(i.e., gross erosion-deposition) is only 3.60 t ha~(-1) yr~(-1)(i.e., roughly 25% of the gross erosion). Majority of the basin area(~86%) experiences only slight erosion(5 t ha~(-1) yr~(-1)), and nearly 3% of the area functions as depositional environment for the eroded sediments(e.g., the terraces of stream reaches, the gentle plains as well as the foot slopes of the plateau scarps and the terrain with concordant summits). Although mean gross soil erosion rates in the natural vegetation belts are relatively higher, compared to agriculture, settlement/built-up areas and tea plantation, the sediment transport efficiency in agricultural areas and tea plantation is significantly high,reflecting the role of human activities on accelerated soil erosion. In MRB, on a mean basis, 0.42 t of soil organic carbon(SOC) content is being eroded per hectare annually, and SOC loss from the 4th order subbasins shows considerable differences, mainly due to the spatial variability in the gross soil erosion rates among the sub-basins. The quantitative results, on soil erosion and deposition, modelled using RUSLE and TLSD, are expected to be beneficial while formulating comprehensive land management strategies for reducing the extent of soil degradation in tropical mountain river basins. 相似文献

Toroud Watershed in Semnan Province, Iran is a prone area to gully erosion that causes to soil loss and land degradation. To consider the gully erosion, a comprehensive map of gully erosion susceptibility is required as useful tool for decreasing losses of soil. The purpose of this research is to generate a reliable gully erosion susceptibility map (GESM) using GIS-based models including frequency ratio (FR), weights-of-evidence (WofE), index of entropy (IOE), and their comparison to an expert knowledge-based technique, namely, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). At first, 80 gully locations were identified by extensive field surveys and Google Earth images. Then, 56 (70%) gully locations were randomly selected for modeling process, and the remaining 26 (30%) gully locations were used for validation of four models. For considering geo-environmental factors, VIF and tolerance indices are used and among 18 factors, 13 factors including elevation, slope degree, slope aspect, plan curvature, distance from river, drainage density, distance from road, lithology, land use/land cover, topography wetness index (TWI), stream power index (SPI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and slope–length (LS) were selected for modeling aims. After preparing GESMs through the mentioned models, final maps divided into five classes including very low, low, moderate, high, and very high susceptibility. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the seed cell area index (SCAI) as two validation techniques applied for assessment of the built models. The results showed that the AUC (area under the curve) in training data are 0.973 (97.3%), 0.912 (91.2%), 0.939 (93.9%), and 0.926 (92.6%) for AHP, FR, IOE, and WofE models, respectively. In contrast, the prediction rates (validating data) were 0.954 (95.4%), 0.917 (91.7), 0.925 (92.5%), and 0.921 (92.1%) for above models, respectively. Results of AUC indicated that four model have excellent accuracy in prediction of prone areas to gully erosion. In addition, the SCAI values showed that the produced maps are generally reasonable, because the high and very high susceptibility classes had very low SCAI values. The results of this research can be used in soil conservation plans in the study area. 相似文献

An area-differentiated model approach (MEPhos) for the quantification of mean annual P-inputs from point and diffuse sources
is presented. The following pathways are considered: artificial drainage, wash-off, groundwater outflow, soil erosion, rainwater
sewers, combined sewer overflows, municipal waste water treatment plants and industrial effluents. Two retention functions
for rivers and reservoirs are included in order to model P-sinks within a river basin. This allows a complete record of P-loads
in heterogeneous meso- and macroscale river basins and enables validation of modeling results with water quality data on a
load basis. The model is applied to the River Ruhr basin (4,485 km2) in Germany, which includes contrasting natural conditions, land use patterns as well as population and industry densities.
Based on validated modelling results sub-areas of high P-loads are localized and management options for the reduction of P-inputs
to surface waters are proposed taking into account the site conditions of the sub-areas relevant for high P-inputs into surface
waters. 相似文献

What factors control mechanical erosion rates? 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Mechanical erosion rates are important factors in understanding how continents evolve. Mechanical erosion is much faster
than chemical erosion, especially for highly elevated regions of the Earth's surface. It is a principal way in which mountain
ranges are removed, exposing deep metamorphic roots, which comprise much of the older portions of the continental masses.
In addition, there has to be a long-term balance between erosion and mountain building. A new data set allows us to explore
in greater detail some of the many factors which control mechanical erosion rates. The most important factors are some expression
of the average slope of a drainage basin, some measurement of the amount of water available for erosion, some environmental
measurements, and also a measurement of basin length, for which we have no good explanation. The estimate of global mechanical
erosion rate obtained here is considerably lower than those obtained by some other workers, some of whom have concentrated
on the fact that smaller river basins tend to get eroded faster than larger basins, and it is mainly smaller basins which
have not been measured and which are therefore not allowed for by simple arithmetic averaging of observed erosion rates. It
is shown here that although smaller basins are eroded faster, this is mainly because they are steeper than larger basins.
We also show that extrapolation of current data to smaller basins does not work because the observed continental area which
is draining to the ocean cannot be attained by the simplest extrapolation scheme.

The redistribution of Chernobyl 137Cs within a small drainage basin was studied in the Lokna river basin, Tula region, Central Russia. Sheet erosion on the cultivated part of basin is the main reason for 137Cs horizontal migration. However there is no statistically significant 137Cs redistribution within cultivated field because of relatively low erosion rates. The valley bottom is the main sink of 137Cs, where 73–84% eroded soil is stored. The resulting 137Cs level in the valley bottom is 1.5–2 times that of the initial 137Cs fallout. 相似文献

In this work, an integrated methodology was applied to assess the water erosion hazard in Upper Orcia Valley, an area of Southern Tuscany (Italy), greatly affected by severe denudation processes, that caused the development of widespread badlands. Prediction of areas prone to calanchi badland development was carried out by applying a susceptibility assessment method based on conditional statistical analysis, preceded by a bivariate statistical analysis aimed at selecting the most influential causal factors of erosion. Water erosion rates at badland sites were estimated by means of an empirical statistical method, implemented to evaluate the erosion intensity (Tu denudation index) and based on some geomorphic parameters as independent variables. This methodology allows associating the denudation intensity to the spatial prediction. The validation procedure, based on a random partition of calanchi badland areas, confirmed the efficiency of the spatial zonation of the erosion hazard values. Moreover, the comparison of the estimated erosion rates with the results of decadal investigations on denudation processes affecting the study area, performed by different monitoring methods, showed the effectiveness of the estimation model. These results allowed concluding that the proposed procedure represents a useful tool to be applicable for soil protection strategy planning in land management of Mediterranean areas characterized by similar morphoclimatic features, even when direct erosion rate measures are not available. 相似文献

A shallow landslide erosion and sediment yield component, applicable at the basin scale, has been incorporated into the physically
based, spatially distributed, hydrological and sediment transport modelling system, SHETRAN. The component determines when
and where landslides occur in a basin in response to time-varying rainfall and snowmelt, the volume of material eroded and
released for onward transport, and the impact on basin sediment yield. Derived relationships are used to link the SHETRAN
grid resolution (up to 1 km), at which the basin hydrology and final sediment yield is modelled, to a subgrid resolution (typically
around 10–100 m) at which landslide occurrence and erosion is modelled. The subgrid discretization, landslide susceptibility
and potential landslide impact are determined in advance using a geographic information system (GIS), with SHETRAN then providing
information on temporal variation in the factors controlling landsliding. The ability to simulate landslide sediment yield
is demonstrated by a hypothetical application based on a catchment in Scotland.

Because of their varying channel styles (braided, meandering, and anastomosing) medieval lowland floodplains in England and Wales provided varying opportunities for defense, settlement, river crossing, and resource exploitation. In turn, these activities altered the character of channels and floodplains, with medieval and later development obscuring the former variety of floodplains themselves. The changing nature of river floodplains is reviewed using archaeological, documentary, and geomorphological evidence. Anastomosing channels and floodplain wetlands have now all but disappeared but were formerly of considerable significance; also discussed are interactions involving flooding, fording, bridging, modifications to channels and their dimensions, and those arising from accelerated soil erosion—most of which peaked in the medieval period when floodplains were significantly transformed. Deliberately or inadvertently, dynamic floodplain landforms were interactively involved with human development during a critical time period in a totality of ways not previously fully identified. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The influence of geomorphological factors to Hg contamination of the Idrijca River alluvial sediments because of the historical mining and ore roasting activities has been studied. Main source of Hg in alluvial sediments was dumping of ore roasting residues and mining waste into the river channel and its erosion downstream. The position of the material in relation to the geomorphological properties is highly related with its Hg content. Floodplains were found to be the most contaminated geomorphological units (mean Hg content 335 mg/kg), with Hg concentration rapidly dropping in the first terrace (155 mg/kg). The least contaminated material was found in the higher terraces (3.8 mg/kg). Sampling upstream Idrija (average Hg content is 22.1 mg/kg) shows that not only mine and ore roasting plant increased Hg levels in alluvial deposits but also contaminated sites upstream Idrija contribute to Hg contamination. Geochemical background for alluvial sediments for this area is estimated to be 0.75 mg/kg. Downstream Idrija, 9 hotspots were determined where highly contaminated material is actively eroded and carries a high risk of further contamination of the So?a River and northern Adriatic Sea ecosystems. 相似文献

Identification and prioritization of sub-watersheds for land and water management using InVEST SDR model: Rmelriver basin,Tunisia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Tunisia presents many favorable conditions for the outbreak of water erosion because of its climatic and physical characteristics. This phenomenon represents a serious threat to the natural resources of soil and water. The aim of the present study is to identify the most vulnerable areas in order to help managers implement an effective management program. Thematic layers and parameters were integrated in the InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Trade-offs) SDR (Sediment Delivery Ratio). Soil loss and sediment yield were calculated by the model and compared to observed data. The Rmel river basin was divided into 17 sub-watersheds using the dam axis as the main outlet. Results reveal that approximately 60% of the basin presents soil loss more than 5 ton/ha/year. Soil erosion map demonstrates that soil erosion risk increases with increased slope gradient, especially in agricultural lands. Sub-catchment prioritizations have been fixed based on soil erosion risk. Results show that sub-catchment 16 presents the highest soil loss with a value of 65 ton/ha/year. Sub-catchment presenting high soil erosion risk needs to give a high priority in conservation planning. 相似文献

The spatial pattern of soil erosion can provide valuable insights into the soil erosion processes that require a rapid assessment
in practical applications. Generally, quantitative technique is expensive and time-consuming. The objective of this paper
is to reveal the spatial pattern of erosion with a rapid assessment method. The affecting factors such as land cover, vegetation
fraction and slope gradient are integrated into this method using a qualitative means. Beijing-1 images in 2006 were used
to produce land-cover and vegetation fraction, and 1:50,000 topographic maps were used to calculate slope gradient. The study
area was classified into six grades. Results show that the upstream area of Guanting Reservoir, in general, is exposed to
a moderate risk; there are 17,740.33 km2 of land that suffered from water soil erosion in 2006, occupied 40.69% of the total area, and most of the soil erosion area
is on the light and moderate risk, which occupied 25.05 and 62.83% of the eroded area, respectively. Eight elevation zones
and six slope gradient zones were overlaid with the assessed risk. The analyzed results show that: (1) the areas above 2,000 m
have the lowest erosion risk, which is only 0.75% of the eroded area; 1,250–1,500 m elevation zone has the highest erosion
risk, which is 34.72% of the eroded area. (2) The slope gradient zone less than 5 degrees and greater than 35 degrees have
the lowest erosion risk, which is 0.02 and 0.75% of the eroded area, respectively; the slope gradient zone with 8–15 degrees
has the highest erosion risk, which is 36.40% of the eroded area. These results will be useful for water and soil conservation
management and the planning of mitigation measures. 相似文献

The paper examines relations among geomorphological processes and the landforms of the Polická vrchovina Highland in the Bohemian Massif. Geologically, the Polická vrchovina Highland is a part of the Intra-Sudetic Basin on the boundary between Bohemia and Poland. The basin structure of the Highland developed during the neotectonic period. In the outer parts of the Highland, Mesozoic rocks dip gently to the centre of the basin to form cuestas. In the central part, layers are horizontal or subhorizontal. Mesas (Hejda and Osta Mesa) provide evidence of the erosion of the Mesozoic deposits. The relative uplift of the Highland resulted in the incision of the Metuje River and its tributaries. Unloading of rocks and erosion initiated typical geomorphological processes such as deep- seated creep, cambering, rockfalls, landslides and pseudokarst processes. These processes produced some typical forms controlled by rock properties, jointing, relative differences in height and climatic changes in the Tertiary and Quaternary. 相似文献
