Extent of Cropland and Related Soil Erosion Risk in Rwanda (卢旺达农田面积扩张带来的土壤侵蚀风险研究)

open access: yes, 2016
在非洲,农田开垦是造成土壤侵蚀的主要原因。本研究以卢旺达为例,评估了该国当前的农田面积和土壤侵蚀情况。卢旺达是非洲最近十年人口增加和农田扩张最快的国家。我们利用 Landsat-8 影像,得到了卢旺达 2015 年的土地利用和覆被数据。基于降水、土壤性质、数字高程模型(DEM)、归一化植被指数(NDVI)和土壤保护因子数据,驱动 RUSLE(Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation)模型,评估了卢旺达的土壤侵蚀速率,空间分辨率是 30 米。模型结果显示 ...
