Abstract:
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 km2, accounting for 8.51% of the area of the whole province. The soil erosion intensity concentrated in light mainly, accounting for 82.64% of total erosion area. The dominant serious and above serious soil erosion areas are located in the southeastern of Fujian Province, such as Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. © 2017 IEEE.
