Summary: | [Objective] Soil erosion is a prominent ecological problem in southwestern Hubei Province. A reasonable assessment of the vulnerability of soil erosion in this area and exploration of its driving mechanisms are prerequisites for effective soil and water conservation measures. [Methods] The effects of natural and socio-economic factors on soil erosion in southwest Hubei were analyzed from the perspective of the human-land coupling system. The evaluation index system of soil erosion vulnerability in southwest Hubei was constructed from three aspects: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptability. The comprehensive weighting method was used to determine the index weight. [Results] (1) From 2010 to 2020, the vulnerability of soil erosion in southwest Hubei generally showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing. The vulnerability of soil erosion with strong and above intensity showed a fragmented distribution pattern, which was mainly concentrated in the central and southern parts of southwest Hubei and the we |
