渭河流域全新世土壤侵蚀沉积过程时空演变特征研究:基于地层证据与改进的RUSLE 模型的耦合分析

Spatiotemporal evolution of the Holocene soil erosion and deposition in the Weihe River Basin: An analysis coupling stratigraphic evidence and improved the RUSLE model

  • 摘要: 全新世土壤侵蚀过程研究为理解过去人地关系演变及预测未来环境变化提供了关键依据。本研究利用改进的RUSLE模型和黄土剖面数据,分别量化了全新世土壤侵蚀模数和黄土沉积速率,以此研究渭河流域全新世期间的侵蚀和沉积过程,剖析自然与人为因素的贡献。结果显示,早全新世期间(11.0~7.9 kaBP),侵蚀模数较低(12.22 t·ha−1·a−1),沉积速率也较低(1~2 cm/100a),这一时期由相对干冷的气候条件和较为茂密的植被覆盖所主导。中全新世期间(7.9~3.1 kaBP),气候转为温暖湿润,波动频繁且较为剧烈,同时伴随早期农业活动。侵蚀模数和沉积速率出现了适度变化,且具有明显的区域性特征。这与不同区域对气候波动的敏感性和受人类活动的影响程度不同有关。自晚全新世以来(3.1 kaBP至今),随着人类活动的加剧,情况发生了显著变化,尤其是在1.0 kaBP,严重的人类活动导致流域绝大多数地区侵蚀模数均有所增加。修订后的RUSLE模型,结合了地层和气候数据,有效地捕捉了全新世阶段性的侵蚀过程,为长期侵蚀评估提供支持,为未来实施可持续土地管理措施提供依据。

     

    Abstract: Study on the Holocene soil erosion provides critical information of human-environment interaction in the past and helps predict future environmental change. In this research, a modified RUSLE model was used with loess profile data to quantify the Holocene soil erosion rates and loess deposition rates in the Weihe River Basin, thereby elucidating the basin’s erosion and deposition dynamics and assessing the relative weights of natural and anthropogenic factors. Results indicate that during the Early Holocene (11.0~7.9 kaBP), both erosion rates (12.22 t·ha−1·a−1) and deposition rates (1~2 cm/100a) were relatively low, which were controlled primarily by a cool, arid climate and dense vegetation cover. In the Mid-Holocene (7.9~3.1 kaBP), the climate became warmer and more humid, with more frequent and intense fluctuations, coinciding with the advent of early agricultural activity. Erosion and deposition rates exhibited moderate changes and pronounced spatial variability, reflecting regional differences in sensitivity to climatic oscillations and the degree of human influence. Since the Late Holocene (3.1 kaBP to present), intensified human activities have markedly altered these dynamics. In particular, around 1.0 kaBP, widespread anthropogenic disturbance led to increased erosion rates across most of the basin. The revised RUSLE model integrate stratigraphic and climatic data, and could capture these phase-specific erosion patterns effectively, supporting long-term erosion assessment and guiding the development of sustainable land-management strategies.
