    Abstract:

    Based on previous research results and field investigations of eroded landform on side slope of the Wuling tableland, in the Eastern Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi Provinc remote sensing satellite images and other information are applied to analyze the development of eroded gully and loess collapse on the southern and northern edges of the tableland. The development conditions, spatial differences and influence factors for the eroded landform are discussed. Studies show that the river sill(8~30 m high loess cliff) on the southern edge of the tableland is the cave settlement zone, the eroded gully and loess collapse are affected by runoff and the cave zone on the edge with eroded gully presents the development of a small density but large scale on the eastern edge, but vice versa on the western section. On the river sill of the northern margin(30~90 m high loess cliff), the major development of the western part is characterized by massive loess collapsing, but the eastern part has small amount and long eroded valleys. The eroded landform development on side-slope of the Wuling tableland is mainly affected by geological structure, topographical conditions, new tectonic movement, loess lithology and structure, atmospheric precipitation and irrigation, as well as human activities. It has negative effects on inhabitation security, slope erosion, highland heritage conservation and the development and construction of the New Xi'an-Xianyang Developing District. Academia and relevant government departments should pay attention to the treatment and prevention of geological disasters on side-slope of the Wuling tableland.
