摘要：
To evaluate the geomorphic significance of piping and tunnel erosion in basin sediment yield in semiarid areas, we conducted a field monitoring program in Yangdaogou, a subbasin in the hilly loess region in the Loess Plateau of China in 1989 and 1990. Six tunnel systems were monitored through fifteen flow events. Overall, 57% of total basin sediment was routed through tunnel systems and net tunnel erosion accounted for about 25% of total sediment production of the basin. This study suggests that tunnel erosion can be highly significant in basin sediment delivery and hillslope development in send-arid areas.
