The invention discloses a cold region water and
sediment function
connectivity quantification method. The method comprises the following steps of S1, obtaining basic
raster data of a research region and performing preprocessing; s2, determining sources and catchment conditions of rivers in the
drainage basin, and performing catchment and
sediment transport unit identification on a GEE platform; s3, a D-Infinity (DINF)
algorithm is applied to determine the flow direction of
watershed water flow, an upslope drainage threshold value is defined, and the contribution area of the unit is obtained based on iterative calculation of the flow direction of
watershed water flow and the upslope drainage threshold value; s4, writing the weighting factor of each unit and calculating the component factor of each unit; s5, calculating an uphill component and a downhill component of each catchment and
sediment transport unit, and sequentially performing iteration and quantitative calculation in combination with the S3 to obtain high-resolution cold region water and sediment function
connectivity raster data of the whole
drainage basin; the method breaks through the current situation that the method is not suitable for large-area cold region
drainage basin calculation, can analyze the response of thermal
erosion to the scale of the cold region drainage basin, can also clarify the complex cold region water and sediment
cascade process, and is of great significance to cold region ecological protection and landscape evolution research.
