Soil erosion analysis of Fujian Province, China in 2015

摘要

To effectively carry out soil and water conservation work and monitor soil erosion in Fujian Province, southeast of China, Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model has been adopted. Landsat8 OLI images, combined with topographical data, soil data and rainfall data were used. Then the soil erosion modulus of Fujian Province was calculated quantitatively based on USLE and classified into different levels of soil erosion intensity. The spatial distribution characteristics of soil erosion in Fujian Province were analyzed. The results show that: The area of soil erosion in Fujian Province in 2015 is 10562.973 km
