Soil erosion is a big problem in karst regions of southwestern China. This study looked at how rainfall and runoff affect erosion in the Sancha River Basin. They found that precipitation and elevation are the main factors influencing erosion. The interaction between elevation and precipitation, as well as elevation and the type of rock, also play a big role. By understanding these factors, we can better manage soil and water loss in karst areas.
