Monitoring and Assessment Methods of Soil Erosion Based on Remote Sensing Technology
TOTAL VIEWS: 1217
Abstract
Soil erosion, as a global environmental issue, seriously threatens ecological security and sustainable agricultural development. Remote sensing technology, with its advantages of macroscopic, dynamic, and rapid monitoring capabilities, provides new technical means for soil erosion research. This study constructs an improved Universal Soil Loss Equation model through multi-source remote sensing data acquisition, preprocessing, and feature extraction, quantitatively analyzing the impact of topographic factors and vegetation coverage on soil erosion. Based on long time-series remote sensing data, dynamic monitoring of soil erosion at regional scales has been achieved, establishing a spatiotemporal change assessment system for soil erosion. Case analysis demonstrates that this method can effectively identify erosion-sensitive areas and quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and control measures. The research results provide a scientific basis for regional soil conservation planning and soil erosion prevention, having significant importance for promoting soil and water conservation and environmental protection.
