Effects of driving factors at multi-spatial scales on seasonal runoff and sediment changes

Guoce Xu et al.

Summary: This study quantified the effects of different driving forces on runoff and sediment variations in four watersheds in the Qinling Mountains, China. The results showed that vegetation coverage and land-use changes were the main factors influencing runoff and sediment variations, and these factors varied at different spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, effective regulation of runoff and sediment requires considering the multi-scale differences in driving factors and their relationships.

Effects of grass vegetation coverage and position on runoff and sediment yields on the slope of Loess Plateau, China

Peng Shi et al.

Summary: Soil erosion is a major challenge globally, but vegetation restoration can help reduce it. This study found that increasing vegetation coverage can decrease runoff and sediment yield, with upslope vegetation contributing more to reducing them compared to downslope vegetation.

Influence of check dams on flood hydrology across varying stages of their lifespan in a highly erodible Catchment, Loess Plateau of China

Shuilong Yuan et al.

Summary: This study explores the modified flood hydrology induced by check dams in a highly erodible catchment in the Loess Plateau, China. The results suggest a shift in the dam effect on flood attributes, transitioning from total interception to peak reduction and flood detention when approaching maximum sedimentation capacity. The reduction in flood peak is attributed to both deposition and topographic changes, and this reduction is augmented with the advancement of siltation and topographic changes. Moreover, a dam system containing multiple check dams has a more significant effect in modifying both hydrologic and hydraulic properties of floods compared to individual dams.

Hydrochemistry and source apportionment of boron, sulfate, and nitrate in the Fen River, a typical loess covered area in the eastern Chinese Loess Plateau

Jun Xiao et al.

Summary: The Fen River Basin in the eastern Chinese Loess Plateau faces water deficiency and significant human impacts on hydrochemistry and water quality. Analysis revealed that water quality was influenced by both natural and pollution inputs, with lower dissolved solutes in forest areas and higher values in cropland and city areas. High boron levels were mainly attributed to silicate weathering and evaporite dissolution, while SO42- concentrations were mainly from sulfates. Additionally, urban and industrial inputs played a role in riverine boron levels. Nitrification was identified as the primary nitrogen cycling process. Municipal sewage was found to be the main source of NO3-, highlighting the importance of sewage reduction policies for improving water quality.

Multiple surface runoff and soil loss responses by sandstone morphologies to land-use and precipitation regimes changes in the Loess Plateau, China

Yang Yu et al.

Summary: This research conducted a long-term analysis of surface runoff and soil loss on Pisha sandstone hillslopes from the Loess Plateau, China under different land use and precipitation regimes. The results showed that precipitation regimes and land use types had significant impacts on surface runoff and soil loss, with heavy storms and bare land leading to the highest levels. Therefore, the selection of land use and vegetation should be considered carefully depending on precipitation regimes in order to control soil erosion effectively.

Grass coverage and the runoff path length decreased by sedimentation have synergistic effects on runoff and sediment yields in a slope-gully system, revealed by rainfall simulation experiments

Lulu Bai et al.

Summary: Slope-gully systems on the Loess Plateau in China cause severe soil erosion. Planting vegetation and constructing check dams are effective measures for soil erosion control. This study found that the combination of grass coverage and increasing the runoff path length decrease (RPLD) led to a significant reduction in runoff and sediment yield. The synergistic effects of grass coverage and RPLD were found to increase with increasing RPLD.

Effects of vegetation spatial pattern on erosion and sediment particle sorting in the loess convex hillslope

Yuanyi Su et al.

Summary: This study investigated the runoff erosion characteristics and erosion sediment sorting characteristics of vegetation at different positions on the upper slope of convex hillslopes in order to address the serious soil erosion problem on the Loess Plateau. The results suggest that vegetation planted near the top of the slope has the highest effectiveness in reducing both runoff and sediment yields.

Effect of shrub-grass vegetation coverage and slope gradient on runoff and sediment yield under simulated rainfall

Dandan Han et al.

Summary: The study found that vegetation coverage and slope gradient significantly affect runoff and sediment yield. Shrub-grass vegetation coverage can effectively increase runoff and sediment yield reduction benefits, but these benefits are influenced by rainfall intensity.

Trait-based sediment retention and runoff control by herbaceous vegetation in agricultural catchments: A review

Lea Kervroedan et al.

Summary: Soil degradation caused by concentrated runoff and erosion poses significant environmental and economic risks, particularly in agricultural areas with temperate climates. Utilizing herbaceous vegetation to increase hydraulic resistance and reduce runoff and erosion can be hindered by species specificity and intraspecific variability. A trait-based approach can help in understanding the direct effects of vegetation on mitigation of runoff and erosion while also enhancing sediment retention.

Erosion-control mechanism of sediment check dams on the Loess Plateau

Zhaoyin Wang et al.

Summary: Severe soil erosion on the Loess Plateau in China has been effectively controlled by constructing a large number of sediment check dams, which has reduced the sediment load of the Yellow River. The primary function of check dams is to trap sediment and promote vegetation development, while also reducing erosion energy to minimize soil erosion and sediment yield.

Impact of sedimentation by check dam on the hydrodynamics in the channel on the Loess Plateau of China

Zhaohong Feng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of sedimentation by check dam on the dynamic process of runoff and erosion power using dynamic coupling models. The research found that the check dam reduced the total volume flow rate of floods, increased the flood duration, and delayed the occurrence of flood peaks. The sedimentation depths of the dam influenced flow velocity and runoff shear stress.

Numerical modelling shows an old check-dam still attenuates flooding and sediment transport

Qihua Ran et al.

Summary: Check dams are effective in reducing and delaying peak river flow and sediment rates, even in fully silted stages. They also help lessen local erosion, promote sediment deposition, and indirectly reduce total sediment yield in watersheds. Maintenance and management of aging check dams are crucial for flood and soil erosion control.

Check dams worldwide: Objectives, functions, effectiveness and undesired effects

Manuel Esteban Lucas-Borja et al.

Summary: Check dams have been widely used for various purposes worldwide, but some projects have experienced failures due to poor construction quality, inadequate location selection, and lack of sufficient design criteria. Comprehensive evaluation of the long-term effectiveness of check dams is still lacking, further research is needed.
