The hydrological characteristics of gravel-containing soils are different from those of gravel-free soils, so it is worth further understanding and enriching the theory of soil and water conservation. In this study, adjustable slope (10°, 20°, 30°) test soil boxes with different surface gravel contents (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) were prepared to study the runoff erosion characteristics of gravel-covered land slopes under different rainfall conditions (10 mm/h, 20 mm/h, 30 mm/h). Compared with the bare soil, the runoff start time of the three slopes covered with 100% soil surface gravel content is delayed by 38.90, 32.83 and 73.39%, the runoff producing rate of gravel condition under different slopes decreased by 7.20–71.52% and the total amount of sediment yield decreased by 7.94~84.57%. Surface gravel cover can effectively reduce runoff and sediment yield, which is beneficial for better soil and water conservation. The results of this study have a certain reference value for the theory of soil and water conservation and can be used as a basis for guiding efficient agricultural production in gravel-mulched land and construction (like road slope improvement). |
