摘要: Predicting gully initiation at catchment scale was done previously by integrating a geographical information system (GIS) with physically based models, statistical procedures or knowledge-based expert systems. However, the reliability and validity of applying these are still questionable. In this work, data mining (DM) procedure on decision trees applied to identify areas risk. Performance compared analytic hierarchy process (AHP) commonly used topographic threshold (TT) technique. A spatial database test composed target variable (presence absence initial points) ten independent environmental, climatic human-induced variables. The following findings emerged: using same input layers, DM provided better predictive ability points than application both AHP TT. main difference between TT very high overestimation inherent in addition, minimum slope observed for soil detachment 2°, whereas other studies it is 3°. This could be explained resistance, which substantially lower agricultural fields, while most unploughed soil. Finally, rainfall intensity events >62.2 mm h-1 (for period 30 min) were found have significant effect initiation. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
