Study on the influence of vegetation change on runoff generation mechanism in the Loess Plateau, China

In recent years, the amount of water and sediment in the Yellow River Basin has dropped drastically. This paper selected 125 rainfall and flood data points from 1965 to 2015, combined hydrological methods and mathematical statistics to analyze the hydrological factors and runoff generation mechanism...

The results showed that the Gushanchuan Basin is still dominated by HOF runoff, but the runoff generation mechanism has also changed with changes in the underlying surface, which are reflected in increased runoff components, the reduced proportion of HOF runoff, and the increased proportion of saturation-excess overland flow (SOF) runoff and mixed runoff.
