3. Recognition results of the SegNet model in the Zhoutungou watershed
in 2021.
In 2021, there were 2,312 gullies in the Zhoutungou watershed, with a
frequency of 68.81 per km² (Table 2). Gully lengths ranged from 5–209.5
m (average 45.84 m), with a total length of 105.98 km, and density of
3.15 km km–². Gully widths ranged from 0.5–2 m, with
more than 85% between 1 and 1.5 m. Gully area ranged from 5.36–209.5
m² (average 46.36 m²), with a total area of 0.1072 km² and dissection
degree of 0.32%. Figure 2 and Table 2 reveal that the gullies in
Zhoutungou watershed are crisscrossed and occur intensively, and some
are connected in a cluster distribution. The morphological features of
the gullies differ, with great uncertainty and chaotic characteristics,
and no clear law of spatial distribution.
