Collapsed gully erosion constantly plagues the sustainability of rural areas in China. To control collapsed gully erosion, an ecological and economic approach, which uses tree plantation to gain economic benefits and control soil erosion, has been widely applied by local governments in Southern China. However, little is known about the economic feasibility of this new method. The objective of t...

Characterization of soil water content (SWC) profiles at catchment scale has profound implications for understanding hydrological processes of the terrestrial water cycle, thereby contributing to sustainable water management and ecological restoration in arid and semi-arid regions. This study described the vertical profiles of SWC at the small catchment scale on the hilly and gully Loess Platea...

Permanent gullies are a serious type of soil erosion. A special permanent gully, called “Benggang” severly affects agricultural production in hilly areas. To reveal the influence Benggang erosion on granitic restoration and fertility, we selected three stages (active, semi-stable stable) recovery subtropical granite region, corresponding samples were collected to analyze spatial variation physi...

Here we present a method for predicting debris flow run-out based on numerical model shallow water flows, using case study conducted Xulong Gully, proposed dam site hydropower station in the upper reaches of Jinsha River. A field investigation and remote sensing interpretation methods were used to develop comprehensive evaluation zones calculate potential provenance volume Gully. Particle-size ...

The occurrence and development of erosion gully will increase the area soil continuously erode cultivated land. treatment is swing in black region Northeast China. However, they are all directed at typical area, while caused by semi-arid less concerned. study uses a combination RS census data. Exploring number status development, survey results show that :the large, most them developmental gull...

Gully Land Consolidation (GLC) is a proven method to create farmlands and increase crop yields in the Loess Hilly Region, China. However, GLC influences phreatic water transformation might cause disasters, such as salinization swamping. For exploring influence of on mitigating series indoor experiments were conducted artificial rainfall hall. Then, we simulated patterns under more conditions wi...
