Effects of Artificial Grass on Soil Erosion Control on Steep Slope in Typical Mollisols Area
[Objective] The relationship between biological measures and their influence factors on soil erosion on steep slopes were studied
in order to provide theoretical basis for gully control and vegetation measure allocation of soil and water conservation.[Methods] Two slope gradients and seven herb vegetation models were set up by small plots
and runoffs and soil losses of the plots were monitored from June to September in 2018.[Results] Compared to bare plot
the average runoff at 1:1.5 and 1:1.2 ratio slope with herb vegetation was declined by 27% and 26%
and the average soil loss reduced by 52% and 21%
respectively. As the slope steepness increased from 34° to 40°
runoff didn't show significant increase
but the amount of soil loss increased markedly. The dominant rainfall factors influencing runoff and sediment were precipitation
I30
E and EI30. The correlations among runoff
sediment and rainfall increased with the increase of slope steepness. The mixture of Bromus inermis and Medicago sativa L had the best effect on reducing runoff and sediment. The soil erosion control effect of mixed sowing of Bromus inermis
Medicago sativa L and Poa annua L was better than that of single sowing. With the increase of vegetation coverage
the sediment reduction effect of 1:1.2 slope was gradually enhanced
and when the vegetation coverage was more than 50%
the effect of sediment reduction was close to 1:1.5 slope.[Conclusion] Under the mixed herb configuration of Bromus inermis and Medicago sativa L. the 1:1.2 ratio slope could be used for gully erosion control
which could save 20% of the gully slope cutting area.
