Effects of Biocrusts on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Slope Flow in Hilly Regions of Loess Plateau
[Objective] The effects of biological soil crusts (biocrusts) on the hydrodynamic characteristics of slope flow were investigated in order to provide theoretical guidance for the study of biocrusts anti-erosive mechanism in hilly regions of the Loess Plateau. [Methods] The treatments of biocrusts coverage and destruction were set
and the artificial rainfall simulation experiments were conducted in this study. [Results] ① The slope flow of biocrusts coverage and destruction treatments was the laminar jet stream. ②The biocrusts coverage significantly reduced slope velocity
whereas increased shear stress
resistance coefficient
and stream power (p<0.05). Compared with the bare land
the slope velocity of algal crust and moss crust treatment decreased by 48.74% and 62.24%. The shear force
resistance coefficient
and stream power increased by 130.01% and 308.07%
703.35% and 2532.01%
21.16% and 57.43%
respectively. ③ Compared with the bare land
the resistance coefficient was no significant difference after the biocrusts were destroyed
whereas the flow velocity
shear stress
and stream power were significantly higher than the bare land (p<0.05). The slope velocity
shear stress
and stream power of the algae crust and moss crust treatments increased by 10.84% and 16.46%
36.8% and 42.44%
60.8 and 62.14%
respectively. [Conclusion] The biocrusts coverage increased slope flow resistance coefficient and decreased flow velocity. After the biocrusts were destroyed
the slope flow resistance coefficient was no different from the bare land
but the flow velocity increased. Furthermore
the biocrusts coverage and destruction treatment increased shear force and stream power of the slope flow
thereby increasing the runoff erosion energy.
