Features: This book is a specialized work on the relationship between soil erosion systems, sediment transport systems, and soil and water conservation systems with China's regional geographical environment. The book discusses ten aspects of content:
Chapter 1 discusses several controversial basic concepts related to soil erosion;
Chapters 2 to 6 present detailed data and distinct viewpoints on erosion environment background and characteristics, regional erosion influencing factors, regional combinations of erosion types, erosion intensity (including methods for determining erosion intensity, spatiotemporal differentiation patterns, and causes), and the research status and application of water erosion prediction models;
Chapter 7 discusses the relationship between sediment transport ratio, basin sediment yield modulus, and basin area;
Chapter 8 explores the principles, indicators, and zoning schemes for soil erosion;
Chapter 9 introduces and discusses soil erosion control, soil and water conservation planning, and the impact of soil and water conservation on surface runoff;
Chapter 10 discusses the development strategy for China's soil erosion discipline.
The book cites a large amount of practical data, is rich in content, and reflects the main achievements of current soil erosion research in China. This book is available for science and technology workers engaged in soil erosion, soil and water conservation, geography, geology, and ecological and environmental research, as well as for teaching and scientific research purposes by university teachers, students, and professionals in relevant fields.
