摘要
The paper analyzes the sediment source of watershed by means of studying watershed in westernShanxi of the Losses Plateau. On the basis of watersheds classification, 7 typical watersheds were chosen andobserved for 11 years. The result shows that the sediment at the small watershed mainly comes from gullies,which is 60% of the total sediment. Erosion modulus of valley (including gully head, gully bed, valley side)is 1.28~2.48 times as that of the area between channels(including hill slope and mound of the Loess Plateau).The main sediment source of slope erosion is cultivated land on slope without water and soil conservationmeasures.
