The intensity of gully erosion in the catchments expressed as gully intensity(number of first鄄order gullies per
unit area)and gully length(length of all the gullies per unit area)is presented in Table 2郾 The gully intensity was
highest(750 km
-2
)in catchment 玉,closely followed by 722 km
-2
in catchment 芋(722 km
-2
). It was lower in
catchment 域( about 440 km
-2
) and catchment 郁( about 251 km
-2
). The gully length was highest (31郾 7 km
km
-2
)in catchment 玉 but least in catchment 郁(8郾 6 km km
-2
). The gully length in catchment 域 and 芋 was
however,similar,but gully intensity differed significantly between the two catchments.
