Review of Quantitative Study of Rill Morphology on Slope

Abstract:

Morphological development of rill at hillslope formed a microrelief dynamic response system with soil erosion driven by rainfall. To reveal the formation mechanism of this system, scientifically quantification is the key problem. In recent years, domestic and foreign scholars had achieved fruitful results in rill evolution and quantized fields. This paper analysised the existing problems in the present research based on summarizing the current existing methods of rill morphology quantitation, and put forward the research direction in the future.
