The Influence of Knickpoints on the Erosion in Songlin River Basin

论文摘要

Based on fieldwork and the longitudinal section obtained by ArcGIS, seven major knickpoints in Songlin River Basin are located. It is found that the regions with a great average elevation difference between ridge and valley suffer more from disasters such as collapse, landslides, and debris flows. Dimensionless number Vindex is used to quantitatively describe the cross-section of the Songlin River Valley. The Vindex coefficient is below 0 outside the upstream influence of knickpoint and in downstream of knickpoint and it is over 0 in the upstream of knickpoint and at the knickpoint. The overall change trend is "super V shape-U shape-super V shape". The formation and development of knickpoints strongly influence the geomorphological characteristics of the Songlin River Basin. Due to the rising erosion base level of the upstream of knickpoint, sediment is deposited and the incision rate of riverbed decreases or it even stops down cutting. In this way, the average elevation difference between ridge and valley is tend to reduce, which lowers the energy that causes geological hazards and improves the stability of the upstream. The gradient of both riverbanks decreases, forming a flat and wide U-shaped river valley. Although the elevation difference between the river and the downstream watershed of the knickpoint remains constant, the current energy increases and the erosion is still severe, keeping the valley in a V shape.
