Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Soil Erosion in Debris Flow‐Prone Areas
Traditional annual‐scale assessments obscure the dynamic recharge of debris‐flow provenances during concentrated rainy seasons. To address this, the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of monthly soil erosion during the rainy seasons (2022–2023) within debris flow‐prone gullies of the upstream Min River Basin was quantitatively evaluated using the RUSLE framework. During the rainy seasons, the mean monthly soil erosion modulus (SEM) reached 206.0 t ha −…
