Ligand engineering for well-defined gold nanoclusters(Au NCs) is getting more extensive attention. Organizing the Au-ligand interfaces on gold NCs can achieve the structural and functional control. This review focuses on the Au-ligand interfaces including gold-phosphorus(Au-P), gold-sulfur(Au-S), gold-selenium(Au-Se), gold-carbon(Au-C), and gold-nitrogen(Au-N), derived from the bonding between Au atoms and the different ligands(e.g., organic phosphine, thiolate, selenolate, alkynyl,n-heterocyclic carbene and nitrogenous ligands). The formation mechanism of Au-ligand interfaces is well discussed. In addition, the effects of Au-ligand interfaces on the stability, optical property, and catalysis are also presented. We hope the advances in this research area can boost the development of Au NC sciences.

A Review on Rill Erosion Process and Its Influencing Factors

Rills are frequently observed on slope farmlands and rill erosion significantly contributes to sediment yields. This paper focuses on reviewing the various factors affecting rill erosion processes and the threshold conditions of rill initiation. Six factors, including rainfall, runoff, soil, topography, vegetation and tillage system, are discussed. Rill initiation and network are explored. Runoff erosivity and soil erodibility are recognized as two direct factors affecting rill erosion and other types of factors may have indirect influences on rill erosion through increasing or decreasing the effects of the direct factors. Certain conditions are necessary for rill initiation and the critical conditions are different with different factors. Future studies should be focused on 1) the dynamic changes of rill networks; 2) the combined effect of multiple factors; and 3) the relationships of threshold values with other related factors.

A Preliminary Study of Rill Marks in the Yellow River Delta

In recent years, the flow of the Yellow River has often been interrupted, which has resulted in exposure of channel bars and point bars, and even extensive exposure of the riverbed. Consequently, a large number of rill marks have developed. They are diverse in morphology. According to the hydrodynamic types of their formation, they can be grouped into 6 categories, i. e. the wave eroded, backwash, seepage, rain eroded, water drainage and runoff rill marks. Morphologically, they can be divided into more than ten types: the linear, tooth shaped, comb shaped, fence like, ear like, braided, branched, leaf like, flower like, root like, dendritic, net like, radial etc. Their cross sections include the broad u type (the width/depth ratio is over 2, and may reach 10—20), U type (width/depth ratio from 1 to 2), V type, Ω type and ( type. Their occurrences may be attributed to the variations in composition, grain size, color, fabric and morphology. They have 5 scales: the micro scale (length and width within 1 cm), small scale (length and width within 10 cm), medium scale (length and width ranging from 10—100cm), large scale (length and width 1—5 m) and giant-scale (length or width over 5 m).

Rainfall and inflow effects on soil erosion for hillslopes dominated by sheet erosion or rill erosion in the Chinese Mollisol region

Erosion agents and patterns profoundly affect hillslope soil loss characteristics. However, few attempts have been made to analyze the effects of rainfall and inflow on soil erosion for hillslopes dominated by sheet erosion or rill erosion in the Chinese Mollisol region. The objective of this study was to discuss the erosive agent(rainfall or inflow), hillslope erosion pattern(sheet erosion or rill erosion) and slope gradient effects on runoff and soil losses. Two soil pans(2.0 m long, 0.5 m wide and 0.5 m deep) with 5° and 10° slopes were subjected to rainfall(0 and 70 mm h–1) and inflow(0 and 70 mm h–1) experiments. Three experimental combinations of rainfall intensity(RI) and inflow rate(IR) were tested using the same water supply of 70 mm by controllingthe run time. A flat soil surface and a soil bed with a straight initial rill were prepared manually, and represented hillslopes dominated by sheet erosion and rill erosion, respectively. The results showed that soil losses had greater differences among treatments than total runoff. Soil losses decreased in the order of RI70+IR70 > RI70+IR0 > RI0+IR70. Additionally, soil losses for hillslopes dominated by rill erosion were 1.7-2.2 times greater at 5° and 2.5-6.9 times greater at 10° than those for hillslopes dominated by sheet erosion. The loss of <0.25 mm soil particles and aggregates varying from 47.72%-99.60% of the total soil loss played a dominant role in the sediment. Compared with sheet erosion hillslopes, rill erosion hillslopes selectively transported more microaggregates under a relatively stable rill development stage, but rills transported increasinglymore macroaggregates under an active rill development stage. In conclusion, eliminating raindrop impact on relatively gentle hillslopes and preventing rill development on relatively steep hillslopes would be useful measures to decrease soil erosion and soil degradation in the Mollisol region of northeastern China.

The characteristics of rill development and their effects on runoff and sediment yield under different slope gradients

Rill formation is the predominant erosion process in slope land in the Loess Plateau, China. This study was conducted to investigate rill erosion characteristics and their effects on runoff and sediment yielding processes under different slope gradients at a rate of 10°, 15°, 20° and 25° with rainfall intensity of 1.5 mm min-1 in a laboratory setting. Results revealed that mean rill depth and rill density has a positive interrelation to the slope gradient. To the contrary, width-depth ratio and distance of the longest rill to the top of the slope negatively related to slope gradient. All these suggested that increasing slope steepness could enhance rill headward erosion, vertical erosion and the fragmentation of the slope surface. Furthermore,total erosion tended to approach a stable maximum value with increasing slope, which implied that there is probably a threshold slope gradient where soil erosion begins to weaken. At the same time, the correlation analysis showed that there was a close connection between slope gradient and the variousindices of soil erosion: the correlation coefficients of slope gradient with maximal rill depth, number of rills and the distance of the longest rill from the top of the slope were 0.98, 0.97 and-0.98, respectively,indicating that slope gradient is the major factor of affecting the development of rills. Furthermore,runoff was not sensitive to slope gradient and rill formation in this study. Sediment concentration,however, is positively related to slope gradient and rill formation, the sediment concentrations increased rapidly after rill initiation, especially. These results may be essential for soil loss prediction.

Rill flow velocity affected by the subsurface water flow depth of purple soil in Southwest China

Subsurface water flow above the weakly permeable soil layer commonly occurs on purple soil slopes.However,it remains difficult to quantify the effect of subsurface water flow on the surface flow velocity.Laboratory experiments were performed to measure the rill flow velocity on purple soil slopes containing a subsurface water flow layer with the electrolyte tracer method considering 3 subsurface water flow depths(SWFDs:5,10,and 15 cm),3 flow rates(FRs:2,4,and 8 L min^(-1)),and 4 slope gradients(SGs:5°,10°,15°,and 20°).As a result,the pulse boundary model fit the electrolyte transport processes very well under the different SWFDs.The measured rill flow velocities were 0.202 to 0.610 m s^(-1) under the various SWFDs.Stepwise regression results indicated a positive dependence of the flow velocity on the FR and SG but a negative dependence on the SWFD.The SWFD had notable effects on the rill flow velocity.Decreasing the SWFD from 15 to 5 cm increased the flow velocity.Moreover,the flow velocities under the 10-and 15-cm SWFDs were 89%and 86%,respectively,of that under the 5-cm SWFD.The flow velocity under the 5-,10-and 15-cm SWFDs was decreased to 89%,80%,and 77%,respectively,of that on saturated soil slopes.The results will enhance the understanding of rill flow hydrological processes under SWFD impact.

A Preliminary Study on Traditional Level-trench Method to Prevent Rill Initiation in the Three Gorges Region,China

The level-trench method is a traditional tillage operation to develop a drainage system on slope land in the Three Gorges region.Before crops are planted,farmers prepare the land with level trenches spaced 3-10 m apart,depending on the slope gradient:steeper slopes require shorter distances.Little scientific analysis has been done on the use of traditional level trenches for soil conservation.We conducted a field investigation and simulation experiments,and present a comparison between the spacing of level trenches and the slope length required for rill initiation.The results indicate that the spacing of level trenches in farmland is close to the slope length required for rill initiation in the experimental plots,and regression models of trench spacing with the gradient and the slope length required for rill initiation with the gradient have similar formats;the coefficients of determination (R2) for the two equations are 0.99 and 0.88,respectively.There were some differences between the field survey and experiments,but we conclude that the traditional level-trench method has an important role in preventing rill initiation.

Assessment of Rill Erosion Development during Erosive Storms at Angereb Watershed, Lake Tana Sub-basin in Ethiopia

Application of simple and locally based erosion assessment methods that fit to the local condition is necessary to improve the performance and efficiency of soil conservation practices. In this study, rill erosion formation and development was investigated on the topo-sequence of three catchments(300-500 m slope length); and on agricultural fields(6 m and 14 m slope lengths) with different crop-tillage surfaces during erosive storms.Rill density and rill erosion rates were measured using rill cross section survey and close range digital photogrammetry. Rill formation and development was commonly observed on conditions where there is wider terrace spacing, concave slope shapes and unstable stone terraces on steep slopes. At field plot level, rill development was controlled by the distribution and abrupt change in the soil surface roughness and extent of slope length. At catchment scale, however, rill formation and development was controlled by landscape structures, and concavity and convexity of the slope. Greater rill cross sections and many small local rills were associated to the rougher soil surfaces. For instance, relative comparison of crop tillage practices have showed that faba-beantillage management was more susceptible to seasonal rill erosion followed by Teff and wheat tillage surfaces under no cover condition. Surface roughness and landscape structures played a net decreasing effect on the parallel rill network development. This implies that spatial and temporal variability of the rill prone areas was strongly associated with the nature and initial size of surface micro-topography or tillage roughness. Thus, it is necessary to account land management practices, detail micro-topographic surfaces and landscape structures for improved prediction of rill prone areas under complex topographic conditions. Application of both direct rill cross section survey and close range digital photogrammetric techniques could enhance field erosion assessment for practical soil conservation improvement.

Developments of Rill Networks: An Experimental Plot Scale Study

Enumerating the relative proportions of soil losses due to rill erosion processes during monsoon and post-monsoon season is a significant factor in predicting total soil losses and sediment transport and deposition. Present study evaluated the rill network with simulated experiment of treatments on varying slope and rainfall intensity to find out the rill erosion processes and sediment discharge in relation to slope and rainfall intensity. Results showed a significant relationship between the rainfall intensity and sediment yield (r = 0.75). Our results illustrated that due to increase in rainfall intensity represent the development of efficient rill network while, no rill was found with a slope of 20° and a rainfall intensity of 60 mm·h-1. The highest rill length was observed in plot E with 20° slope and 120 mm·h-1 rainfall intensity at 360 minutes. Positive and strong correlation (R2 = 0.734, P 0.001) was observed between the cumulative rainfall intensity and sediment discharge. A longitudinal profile was delineated and showed that the depth and numbers of depressions amplified with time and were more prominent for escalating rainfall intensity for its steeper slopes. Information derived from the study could be applied to estimate longer-term erosion stirring over larger areas possessing parallel landforms.

降雨过程中黄土坡面微地形因子与侵蚀关系研究

以断续降雨过程中不同阶段的黄土坡面栅格单元地形信息为研究对象,通过12段30 min、60 mm/h雨强的降雨进行模拟降雨试验,对微坡度、微坡向与黄土坡面侵蚀过程、细沟形态演变的相互影响进行研究。研究结果表明:坡面微坡度与微坡向的变化主要集中在降雨初始阶段(0~30 min),后续阶段(30~360 min)变化幅度较小,微坡度和微坡向变化与坡面时段侵蚀量显著正相关。细沟网络形成后,微坡度<15°区间和45°以上区间栅格占比缓慢上升,且主要产生于细沟内部,细沟内部在发育过程中会产生泥沙堆积的平台和坡度较大的陡坎。细沟的发育过程是细沟内径流的剥蚀和边壁不稳定土体的坍塌共同作用的非均匀发育过程,径流的剥蚀和土体的坍塌互相促进,加速了细沟的发育过程,从而造成了侵蚀量的波动。细沟侵蚀过程中坡面微坡向以坡面坡向为主导,坡面坡向栅格占比在30 min后保持不变,而细沟总表面积逐渐增加,说明微坡向与坡面同向的细沟栅格数增加。细沟会产生有一定宽度的沟底,沟道的横截面由“V”形向“U”形过渡。除北向外,其余微坡向栅格数变化与细沟密度、细沟割裂度、细沟复杂度、细沟累计长度和细沟平均宽度显著相关,微坡向栅格数能够较好地反映坡面细沟形态变化。

紫色土坡面细沟形态变化及其对产流产沙的影响

[目的]揭示紫色土坡面细沟形态特征及其对产流产沙的影响,阐明紫色土区影响细沟产流产沙的主控因素,进而为紫色土区水土流失治理提供参考依据。[方法]以紫色土坡耕地为研究对象,设计3个流量(6,8,10 L/min)和5个坡长(1,2,3,4,5 m),利用放水冲刷试验定量分析细沟形态和产流产沙变化特征,探讨细沟形态变化对产流产沙特征的影响。[结果]随流量增加,沟宽和沟深均呈增大趋势,宽深比则呈减小趋势;随坡长增加,沟宽与宽深比呈先减小后增大的趋势,沟深变化规律则相反,且细沟形态在坡长3~4 m存在突变。流量与产流率、产沙率和细沟侵蚀速率呈正相关关系,坡长与产沙率呈正相关关系,而与产流率和细沟侵蚀速率呈负相关关系,其中产流率主要受流量的影响,而产沙率和细沟侵蚀速率受流量和坡长交互作用的影响较大。相关性分析表明,相比于产流(r=0.54,p<0.05),细沟形态与产沙关系更为密切(r>0.67,p<0.01)。通过多元逐步回归分析发现,沟宽是影响细沟侵蚀速率的关键因素(p<0.05),沟深是影响产沙率、累积产沙量的关键因素(p<0.01)。[结论]沟宽与沟深可用于预测紫色土坡面侵蚀程度,其中沟深是表征侵蚀产沙的最佳指标,未来细沟侵蚀防治措施重点应在控制沟深发育方面。

不同降雨强度及坡度条件下饱和紫色土坡面细沟形态特征

坡面细沟形态特征的定量分析是研究细沟侵蚀的基础。通过设计3种降雨强度(30,60,90 mm/h)和5种坡度(2°,5°,10°,15°,20°)组合条件下的人工降雨模拟试验,定量研究饱和紫色土坡面降雨强度及坡度对细沟形态及其空间变化特征的影响。结果表明:饱和紫色土坡面细沟平均宽度、深度和细沟宽深比分别为3.44~9.64 cm、1.01~8.14 cm和1.18~3.87,细沟宽度和深度沿坡面从上至下整体均表现出先增大后减小的趋势,细沟宽深比沿坡面表现为上坡<中坡<下坡的变化特征。整体来看,坡面细沟宽度和深度均与降雨强度和坡度呈正相关关系,且降雨强度和坡度对坡面细沟宽度的影响相近,而坡度对细沟深度的影响较降雨强度更显著;细沟宽深比与降雨强度和坡度呈负相关关系,且坡度对坡面细沟宽深比的影响显著大于降雨强度的影响。研究结果对认识饱和土壤坡面细沟侵蚀形态变化规律、进一步探究坡面细沟发育过程具有重要参考价值。
