摘要：
Climate and landscape structure are widely recognized as the primary drivers of soil erosion; however, the spatiotemporal variability of their effects remains insufficiently understood, limiting our comprehension of the dynamic processes of soil erosion. To address this gap, this study analyzed soil erosion trends on the Loess Plateau from 2000 to 2018. extreme Gradient Boosting was used to identify key climatic and landscape structural factors, while a geographically and temporally weighted regression model was applied to assess the spatiotemporal variability of these influences. The results indicate a decreasing trend in soil erosion from 2000 to 2008, followed by a sharp increase from 2008 to 2018. Grassland edge density emerged as the most important factor, followed closely by grassland percentage and annual precipitation. Temporally, the positive effect of annual precipitation has been intensifying since 2010, contributing to increased erosion, while landscape structural factors progressively enhanced their hydrological regulatory roles, reflecting dynamic interactions with climate. Spatially, the direction of climatic influences remained generally stable, consistently promoting erosion, although by 2018, the effects of average annual temperature and annual sunshine duration reversed to suppress erosion in specific areas. In contrast, landscape structural influences exhibited greater spatial variability, often fluctuating or reversing depending on topography, human activity, and land use. This variability applied specifically and differentially to each metric of fragmentation and diversity, highlighting the critical importance of trade-offs in landscape management. The findings emphasize the complexity and dynamics of soil erosion in response to climate and landscape structure, suggesting implications for the development of spatially targeted soil erosion control strategies that accommodate the phases of temporal variation. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
