Simulation of slope soil erosion intensity with different vegetation patterns based on cellular automata model by Yan Sheng, Shangxuan Zhang, Long Li, Long Li, Zhiming Cao, Yu Zhang

“…Ultimately, the dynamic characteristics of soil erosion in 2023 are simulated under various slope conditions.ResultsResults indicated: (1) The spatial distribution of simulated soil erosion intensity grade maps for different slopes largely aligned with actual maps, and regions with soil erosion depth greater than 3 cm were resistant to transitioning to lower erosion zones. (2) The Kappa coefficients for simulated soil erosion intensity in uniform distribution, random distribution, aggregate distribution, and bare control slopes were 65.24%, 73.62%, 75.88%, and 69.06%, respectively, confirming the feasibility of the CA-Markov model for simulating soil erosion dynamics. (3) The simulation of soil erosion intensity on different slopes in 2023 revealed that erosion intensity on uniformly distributed, aggregated, and bare control slopes remained predominantly in the erosion zone with a depth of 1–2 cm, while randomly distributed slopes experienced a shift from mild erosion area to slight erosion area.DiscussionThis study improves the understanding of soil erosion across different vegetation patterns and demonstrates the applicability of the CA-Markov model for simulating dynamic erosion on slopes. …”
