Abstract:Soil erodibility K reflects the sensitivity of soil to erosion. Based on 12-year observed data of rainfall, runoff and sediment at standard runoff plots of Gushan Slope Runoff Observation Station in Zaozhuang Municipality, including single-storm, annual and multi-year average values, it is shown that under the same soil physical and chemical properties and the same soil and water conservation measures, different rainfall conditions result in different K values; under the same soil physical and chemical properties and the same rainfall conditions, different soil and water conservation measures lead to different K values. The study reveals that the soil erodibility factor K is correlated with rainfall erosivity, soil loss, as well as soil and water conservation measures at Gushan Slope Runoff Observation Station in Zaozhuang Municipality.
