Method for evaluating the degree of sheet erosion of a ploughed soil
By collecting and processing soil samples from the top and bottom layers of cultivated land, and calculating the gravel mass ratio and soil loss rate, the problem of inaccurate soil erosion assessment in existing technologies has been solved, and precise quantification of soil and water loss has been achieved.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are inaccurate in assessing the extent of soil erosion in arable land after heavy rains, especially in areas without runoff and sediment monitoring facilities, making it difficult to quantify soil erosion.
By collecting soil samples from the top and bottom layers of cultivated land, calculating the gravel mass ratio and soil loss rate, processing soil samples using ring cutters and sieves, and combining soil bulk density and area to calculate the soil loss rate, the degree of soil erosion was evaluated.
It enables quantitative assessment of widespread sheet erosion, improving the accuracy of soil erosion measurement with an error within 3%.
