Benggang (collapsing hill) erosion is one of the most serious ecological problems in the south of China. Understanding the relationship between Benggang erosion and landscape pattern is conducive to the study of Benggang occurrence and development from the perspective of landscape ecology, with great significance for Benggang prevention and ecological protection. We classified the Lanxi River Basin in Anxi County, Fujian Province into 32 small watersheds.

Benggangs are a special type of soil erosion in the hilly granite regions of the tropical and subtropical areas of Southern China. They cause severe soil and water loss, which can severely deteriorate soil quality and threat to the local ecological environment. Soils (red soil, sandy soil and detritus soil) were collected from collapsing wall of a typical Benggang in Changting County of Fujian Province, and their physicochemical and mineralogical properties were analyzed.

Assessing the distribution and risks associated with the soil lead content in the Tieguanyin tea plantations of Anxi County is critical, given the county's significance as the primary Tieguanyin tea production area in Fujian Province. This study examined the distribution characteristics of soil lead in Anxi County's tea plantations according to the Kriging spatial interpolation of the parameters of the semivariance function of the exponential model. Moreover, the sources of lead content were analyzed, considering geological backgrounds and anthropogenic influences.

Benggang is one of the most serious soil erosion problems in tropical and subtropical areas in southern China. Little work has been reported on the surface properties of soil colloidal particle and its influence on soil swelling of different soil layers in collapsing wall of Benggang. In this present work, the effects of sodium concentration on soil swelling, and the correlations between soil swelling rates and soil colloidal surface properties were comprehensively evaluated by carefully examining soil physicochemical properties and soil colloidal surface properties of red, sandy and detritus soil layers from a collapsing wall.

The detachment-transport coupling equation by Foster and Meyer is a classical equation that describes the relationship between detachment and transport. The equation quantifies the relationship between sediment loads and soil detachment rates, deepens the understanding of soil erosion and provides a reliable basis for the establishment of an erosion model. However, the applicability of this equation to slopes with gradients greater than 47% is limited.

In order to understand the possibility and spatial pattern of Benggang (collapsing hill) erosion in risk assessment and distinguish the primary and secondary areas in Benggang prevention, we took a small watershed in Anxi County (Fujian, China) as the study area and Benggang as the source, and constructed the Benggang expansion resistance surface using the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model and divided the risk zoning. The results showed that the area around Benggang displayed a low resistance value, while the northwest and southeast areas displayed a high resistance value. The Benggang expansion resistance surface had an island type form.

Article Synopsis
  • Benggang, a region in South China, suffers from severe soil erosion mainly due to collapsing walls, which is critically influenced by soil water properties.
  • The study utilized a pressure plate meter to analyze the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) across five soil layers in collapsing walls, finding that the van Genuchten model effectively fits the SWCC data.
  • Results indicate that soil water retention decreases with depth, leading to reduced soil stability and increased collapse risk, while factors like gravel content and particle shape also play a significant role in these processes.
