Abstract

The Dry-hot Valley Region (DVR) is one of the typical ecologically fragile areas, but also it is a key and difficult region of vegetation rehabilitation in southwestern mountain area of China. Due to the extremely hot dry climate and strong expansion/shrinkage characteristic of soil, the cracking is a kind of extremely universal phenomenon. Soil cracking accelerates the water loss by means of evaporation, intensifying the damage of soil drought to plants, so it has become is one of the important reasons for vegetation recovery. In this paper, according to complex network theory, we analyse the degree distribution properties of two typical soil-crack network in Yuanmou Dry-hot Valley Region, which includes not only the topological characteristics of the fracture network itself, but also more important study the reflected characteristics of the soil crack under different network topologies.
