Slope and rainfall are the key factors to influence detachment,transport and deposition of soil materials by the erosive forces of raindrops and
runoff. The investigation of soil CO2 flux under slope and rainfall is helpful to understand the CO2 exchange mechanism between soil and atmosphere in the
eroded region. A simulated experiment of rainfall and slope was conducted in State Key Laboratory of Soil Erosion and Dryland Farming on the Loess
Plateau. The treatments consist of three slopes( 5°,15° and 25°) ,three rainfall intensities( 30,60 and 90 mm·h - 1,I30
,I60 and I90
) and three rainfall
durations( 0. 5,1 and 1. 5 h,H0. 5
,H1 and H1. 5
) . Soil CO2 flux significantly decreased as the slope increased( p < 0. 001) ,but there was no significant
difference between 5° and 15°. Soil CO2 flux with slope 25° was declined significantly compared to 5° and 15°( 16. 3% ~ 36. 5%,10. 8% ~ 27. 1%) .
For the same slope and rainfall duration( H1
) ,soil CO2 flux decreased with the increase of rainfall intensity. Compared with the I30
,the soil CO2 flux of
I60 and I90 decreased by 2. 3% ~ 14. 3%,but the difference did not reach the significant level. With the increase of rainfall duration,soil CO2 flux also
showed a reduced tendency under the same slope and rainfall intensity( I90
) . Compared with H0. 5
,the soil CO2 flux of H1 and H1. 5 decreased by 1. 7%
~ 20. 9%,and the rainfall duration had a significant influence on the soil CO2 flux. With the increase of slope,rainfall intensity and rainfall duration,
the loss content of SOC had increased significantly( p < 0. 1) . There were negative linear correlation between soil CO2 flux and SOC losses( R2 = 0. 69 ~0. 77,r = - 0. 83 ~ - 0. 88,p ≤0. 1) . SOC loss contribute significantly to the decline in soil CO2 flux during an erosion event.
