摘要：Erosive rainfall is essential for initiating surface runoff and soil erosion to occur. The analysis on its temporal and spatial distribution characteristics is crucial for calculating rainfall erosivity, predicting soil erosion, and implementing soil and water conservation. This study utilized daily rainfall observation data from 90 meteorological stations in Henan from 1981 to 2020, and conducted geostatistical analysis, M-K mutation test analysis, and wavelet analysis on erosive rainfall to reveal the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics over the past 40 years. Building on this foundation, the correlation between erosive rainfall, rainfall, and rainfall erosivity were further explored. The findings indicated that the average annual rainfall in Henan Province varied between 217.66 mm and 812.78 mm, with an average yearly erosive rainfall of 549.24 mm and a standard deviation of 108.32 mm. Erosive rainfall constitutes for 77% of the average annual rainfall on average, and the analysis found that erosive rainfall is highly correlated with rainfall volume. The erosive rainfall increased from northwest to southeast, and had the same spatial distribution characteristics as the total rainfall. The number of days with erosive rainfall was 20.5 days and the annual average sub-erosive rainfall was 26.86 mm. The average annual rainfall erosivity in Henan Province ranged from 1341.81 to 6706.64 MJ·mm·ha^?1·h^?1, averaging at 3264.63 MJ·mm·ha^?1·h^?1. Both the erosive rainfall and the rainfall erosivity are influenced by the monsoon, showing a unimodal trend, with majority of the annual total attributed to rainfall erosivity from June to September, amounting to 80%. The results can provide a basis for forecasting of heavy rainfall events, soil conservation and planning, ecological treatment, and restoration.
