Southwest China is one of the largest contiguous karst areas in the world. Due to the particularity of geological conditions, extreme rainfall events and unreasonable land use, this region is experiencing severe soil erosion. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to evaluate the influences of vegetation type and rainfall regime on runoff and soil loss in southwest China. The recording of 143 rainfall events from 2006 to 2015 have been divided into 5 rainfall regimes by K-means clustering method. The vegetation type included soil and water conservation forest, grassland, cropland and eco...
