Runoff and Sediment Yield of Corn Plots in Different Growth Stages Under Different Rainfall Intensities
[Objective] The anti-erosion effects of corn on slope farmland was studied in order to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of soil erosion on slope farmland in the Loess Plateau region.[Methods] An outdoor artificial simulated rain test was conducted to analyze the effects of corn on the runoff and sediment production and erosion process on slope farmland at five different growth stages
such as seedling stage
early jointing stage
mid-joint stage
late jointing stage
and tasseling stage.[Results] ① With the growth of crops
the resistance of corn to runoff and sediment yield increased
this effect was the weakest in the seedling stage and the strongest in the tasseling stage. Compared with bare land
the average runoff and sediment yield of corn plot decreased by 48.5% and 73.7% respectively. The sediment reduction effect of corn in different growth stages was better than that of runoff reduction effect. ② The process of runoff and sediment yield showed a continuous fluctuation trend. Corn crops delyaed the initial time of runoff and sediment yield
and the average runoff and sediment yield decreased in stable runoff and sediment yield stage. When rainfall intensity increased from 40 mm/h to 80 mm/h
the increase rate of runoff and sediment yield was more than 100%
the runoff coefficient and sediment concentration increased
and the erosion process became more severe. ③ There was a good exponential correlation between leaf area index and soil loss ratio of corn slope at different growth stages. The leaf area index could be used to estimate the soil loss ratio of corn slope in different growth periods
which laid a foundation for estimating annual vegetation cover and management factor C value.[Conclusion] With the growth of corn
the anti-erosion effect of corn is enhanced
but the erosion is serious at seedling stage and early jointing stage
auxiliary measures should be taken to prevent soil and water erosion. The increase of rainfall intensity makes the erosion and sediment yield more serious under various underlying surface conditions.
