Abstract

【Objective】This study evaluated the soil conservation and spatial distribution characteristics of the Natural Forest Protection Project in Qinghai Province over the past 20 years, to understand the ecological and environmental protection status of this area, and provide a theoretical reference for the promotion of local ecological construction and economic development.【Method】Based on the universal soil loss equation (USLE) model, combined with land use data, terrain data, multi-year climate data, and soil data, the soil conservation of Qinghai Province was calculated and spatially analyzed through a GIS platform (ArcGIS 10.4) to verify the land use types, administrative districts, and topography factors during 2000-2020. Additionally, the benefits of soil conservation under the implementation of the Natural Forest Protection Project were evaluated. 【Result】(1) The grassland and bare land were the main land use types in Qinghai Province from 2000 to 2020. The implementation of the Natural Forest Protection Project, resulted in the expansion of land use as forests and a decrease in the bare land. The shrubland and grassland in the east were transformed into forests, which became the main sources of forest growth. (2) Under the implementation of the Natural Forest Protection Project, soil conservation increased by 4.950×106 t. The amount of soil conservation was higher in the east and south, but lower in the northwest. (3) Different land use types had different soil conservation capacities and soil conservation per unit area was highest in the forests. The total amount of soil conservation in the shrublands increased the most over the 20 years. (4) The amount of soil conservation in Haidong, Xining and Huangnan increased the most during 2000-2020. (5) In terms of altitude and slope, the soil conservation per unit area was highest at an altitude gradient of 1 667-2 600 m and steeper slopes (15°-25°). 【Conclusion】The implementation of the Natural Forest Protection Project has prominently enhanced the soil conservation function in the Qinghai Province and the expansion of shrubs and forests further contribute to soil conservation. Thus, land areas at an altitude of 1 667-2 600 m and steep slopes (15°-25°) should be protected in the future.

\n Beginning in 1981, a mathematical model called the erosion-productivity impact calculator model (epic) was developed to determine the relation between soil erosion and soil productivity throughout the U.S.A. By 1985 the model was ready for use in the RCA (1977 Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act) analysis. Between 15000 and 20000 epic simulations of 100 years each were performed as part of the 1985 RCA analysis. After the RCA analysis, model refinement and development continued and epic has been applied to a number of agricultural management problems. For example, epic is capable of dealing with decisions involving drainage, irrigation, water yield, erosion (wind and water), weather, fertilizer and lime application, pest control, planting dates, tillage, and crop residue management. Example applications include: (i) 1988 drought assessment; (ii) soil loss tolerance tool; (iii) Australian sugarcane model (\n AUSCANE\n ) ; (iv) pine tree growth simulator; (v) global climate change analysis, and (vi) farm level planning.\n

Abstract
结合ArcGIS与通用土壤流失方程(RUSLE),研究了1990&mdash;2015年三峡库区土壤保持量的时空动态变化规律,并分析了气候、水文、地形、社会等因子对土壤保持功能的影响。结果表明:1990&mdash;2015年三峡库区年均土壤保持量为5.79&times;10<sup>9</sup> t (1004.23 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>),森林、灌木、草地、农田、未利用地的土壤保持功能依次降低。25年间三峡库区单位面积土壤保持量变化范围为818.73~1280.50 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>,2000年土壤保持服务功能最高。三峡库区土壤保持功能呈现东北高,西南低,长江沿岸及重庆主城区附近较低的空间分布趋势;土壤保持量随海拔增加呈现先增加后减小的趋势,海拔1000~1500 m的区域土壤保持能力最强;土壤保持量随坡度呈逐渐增加的趋势。海拔、坡度、降水、植被覆盖变化对土壤保持功能变化的贡献最大。人类活动干扰是土壤保持功能变化的主要驱动力。加强生态保护与修复,统筹治理,降低人为干扰,有助于提升三峡库区生态安全。

Combining ArcGIS with the Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), we examined the temporal and spatial dynamics of soil conservation in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) from 1990 to 2015, and analyzed the effects of climatic, hydrologic, topographic, and social factors on soil retention. The mean annual soil conservation was 5.79&times;10<sup>9</sup> t (1004.23 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>) in the TGRA during 1990-2015. Soil conservation services in forests, shrubs, grasslands, cropland, and unused land were successively declined. In the past 25 years, the value of soil conservation per unit area in the TGRA fluctuated within the range of 818.73-1280.50 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, with the highest value in 2000. The soil conservation service was higher in the northeast but lower in the southwest, the bank area of the Yangtze River, and the main urban area of Chongqing. Soil holding capacity first increased and then decreased with increasing altitude, with the strongest capacity in the areas of 1000-1500 m above sea level. Soil holding capacity gradually increased with the slope. Elevation, slope, annual precipitation, and vegetation cover contributed greatly to changes in soil retention. Anthropogenic disturbance was the main driving force for changes of soil retention. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen ecological protection and restoration, implement coordinate management, reduce anthropogenic disturbance, in order to improve the ecologicalsecurity in the TGRA.
