Effects of DEM Resolution on Hydrological Connectivity Index of Small Watershed in Intensive Sugarcane Area by Kang Zhenwei, Li Yong, Huang Zhigang, Ming Xue

“…[Objective] The response of surface microtopography characteristic index, and hydrological connectivity (IC) index to different resolutions of digital elevation model (DEM) was studied, and the best DEM resolution of IC was determined in a small watershed of an intensive sugarcane production area in order to provide a theoretical basis and reference for subsequent research on hydrological connectivity, agricultural non-point source pollution, and soil erosion. [Methods] The effects of different resolutions of DEM (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 m) on surface microtopography characteristics 〔slope (S), slope length (L), surface roughness (SR), standard deviation of elevation (SDE), and IC〕 were studied in an intensive sugarcane planting area in Southern China using ArcGIS and high-resolution images from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). …”
