Determining the relationship type between different components of soil erosion using rain simulator in Gachsaran Formation

Determining the type of relationship between different components of soil erosion can provide more complete information about the performance of these components in different watersheds and land uses. In this study, in order to determine the type of relationship between different components of soil erosion in different land uses of Gachsaran Formation deposits, a part of Kuhe Gach watershed with an area of 1202 hectares was selected. In this study, using univariate regression, the type of relationships between sediment - runoff, sediment - infiltration, sediment - runoff and erosion threshold, runoff - infiltration, runoff - runoff and erosion threshold, infiltration - runoff and erosion threshold were determined and also, the relationship between them was also examined. Sampling of erosion different components at 6 points with 3 replicates and at different rainfall intensities of 0.75, 1 and 1.25 mm/min in three land uses of the range, residential area and agricultural lands using a rain simulator was performed. SPSS and EXCEL software were used for statistical analysis. The results showed that in general in the intensity of 0.75 mm/min in all three land uses, range, agricultural and residential and in the relationship between all the different components of soil erosion in seven cases, there is a positive relationship and in eleven cases, there is a negative relationship. And at an intensity of 1 mm/min in all three rang, agricultural and residential land uses and in the relationship between all the different components of soil erosion in seven cases, there is a positive relationship and in eleven cases, there is a negative relationship. And at an intensity of 1.25 mm/min in all three uses of the range, agricultural and residential land uses and in the relationship between all the different components of soil erosion in eight cases, there is a positive relationship and in ten cases, a negative relationship.
