Taking the purple soil slope in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area as the research object, the present study employed the rare earth element tracing method to differentiate sediment sources. Simulated rainfall experiments were conducted under three slope conditions (CK: control slope; P: hedgerow and R: only hedgerow root) at two rainfall intensities (60 mm/h and 120 mm/h) to assess the effects of Vetiveria Zizanioides hedgerows on sediment deposition. The findings revealed that the sediment primarily deposited in the middle and lower parts of the slope (in the tracer sections of 0~40 cm and >40~140 cm). Compared with the control slope (CK) condition, the deposition rates increased by 42.88% and 79.06% under the R and P slope conditions, respectively. Under the CK slope condition, the contribution of each slope section to the total deposition increased with the slope position under a rainfall intensity of 60 mm/h. Specifically, the tracer section ranging from >340 to 440 cm reached a contribution rate of 60.13%; however, under a rainfall intensity of 120 mm/h, the contribution of each slope section to the total deposition exhibited a fluctuating pattern. Under the P and R slope conditions, the contribution increased in the tracer sections ranging from >140 to 240 cm and from >340 to 440 cm, but decreased in the tracer section ranging from >240 to 340 cm. Therefore, the presence of hedgerows significantly altered the sediment distribution on the slope and the sedimentation source of deposition, leading to a reduced contribution of the upper slope and an increased contribution of the middle and lower slopes to the total deposition.
设计降雨强度后,掀开塑料膜,待坡面连续产流后开始计时,60 min后停止降雨。降雨结束后,使用环刀(直径61.8 mm)在坡面不同位置取样(图1B),取样高度视泥沙沉积程度而定,取样时确保取样深度略大于泥沙沉积深度。整体而言,篱前所用取样环刀高度大于其他部位所用取样环刀高度,不采用统一高度是为了避免沉积少的区域原坡面土壤过分稀释沉积土壤所含稀土元素浓度,造成误差。随后将各取样点的土壤烘干并称质量,样品经消解处理后,使用电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(ICP-MS,X Series Ⅱ型,赛默飞世尔科技公司)测定其中稀土元素的含量,用来分析坡面泥沙沉积的空间分布。
