Spatial Pattern of Soil Erosion Drivers and the Contribution Rate of Human Activities on the Loess Plateau from 2000 to 2015: A Boundary Line from Northeast to Southwest
2019
Remote Sensing
Preserved Fulltext
Interestingly, the spatial differentiation characteristic of the soil erosion driving mechanisms and human contribution rates on the Loess Plateau showed the same boundary line from northeast to southwest ...
The results show that from 2000 to 2015, the soil erosion modulus of the Loess Plateau had a downward trend as a whole, with a rate of −0.6408 t/ha/a, but the downward trend gradually slowed down. ...
