The impact of transverse grass strip distribution patterns on slope erosion and hydrodynamic mechanisms

Ke Li
Vegetation distribution patterns are key drivers of surface runoff and soil erosion in arid and semi-arid regions. However, quantitative studies on the parameterization of Transverse Grass Strip Combinations (TGSC) patterns are still scarce. Through controlled movable-bed erosion experiments conducted under a fixed 50% vegetation cover, we quantified the effects of different TGSC patterns on slope hydrodynamic characteristics and erosion rates under various slopes and flow conditions.
