Assessing the influence of geo-environmental factors on discontinuous gully erosion at regional scales: A case study of spoon gullies on the loess plateau of China
Spoon gullies, characterized by fat heads and thin tails, are a typical type of discontinuous hillslope gully found extensively on the Loess Plateau of China. This study explores the variations in factor dominance influencing the gully erosion within a global-local framework, using Geodetector, geographically weighted regression, and spatially constrained multivariate clustering. The study provides new insights into the spatial heterogeneity of discontinuous gullies at a regional scale and offers implications for developing targeted strategies against gully erosion.
