1 Introduction Soil erosion is a major form of land degradation and a natural hazard, particularly in ecologically fragile regions (Amundson et al. 2015; Zhihua et al. 2018; Zhang and Cheng 2019). Climate warming has increased the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation in many dryland and semi-arid regions (Donat et al. 2016; Huang et al. 2021; IPCC 2021; Li et al. 2024).
