Effects of Land Use Change on Soil Erosion in Mesoscale Watershed——A Case Study at Gushanchuan Watershed
[Objective] The effects of land use/land cover change on soil erosion at Gushanchuan watershed was illustrate for better understanding the dynamic of sediments in Yellow River in order to provide theoretical support for improvement of soil erosion model. [Methods] Based on the data of land use and land cover derived from Landsat TM image
and of vegetation factor derived from Chinese soil loss equation(CSLE)
transition matrix of land use change was used to analyze vegetation factor variation caused by land use/cover changes. [Results] From 1975 to 1997
vegetation factor increased with the decrease of grass land
and the increase of vegetation cover and cultivated land. While from 1997 to 2012
though opposite facts happened
i.e.
grass land and vegetation cover increased
whereas cultivated land decreased
these still resulted to increase of vegetation factor. [Conclusion] As the most important measures
grassland and forestland should be increased. This is of great significance for controlling soil erosion.
