坑状浅沟作为浅沟与切沟的中间过程,深入理解它对于进一步认识切沟侵蚀规律具有十分重要的意义,但是还没有见到相关的研究报道。以内蒙古高原的一个小流域为例。利用高精度的全球定位系统(GPS)测量坑状浅沟侵蚀的形态参数,探讨了坑状浅沟的相关特征,分析了坑状浅沟的坡度(S)和上有集水区面积(A)的关系(S—A)、侵蚀体积(V)和长度(L)的关系(V-L),以期能推动坑状浅沟侵蚀的研究。
Hole-ephemeral gully is a media process between ephemeral gully and gully. It has very important significance for us to understand in advance the laws of gully erosion. However, little research on hole-ephemeral gullies in prior literatures has been done. A small catchment on the inner-Mongolian Plateau is regarded as a case study and Global Position System (GPS) is used to measure the morphology parameters of hole-ephemeral gullies and topography of the study area. It discusses relative characteristics of hole-ephemeral gullies and analyzes the relationship (S - A) between slope gradient (S) at gully head and upslope drainage area (A) for hole-ephemeral gullies and the relationship (V - L) between lengths (L) and erosion volumes (V) for hole-ephemeral gullies in order to promote the studies on hole-ephemeral gullies.
