Abstract [Background] The Grain for Green project has been implemented for approximately 20 years in the Loess Plateau, which substantially modified the land uses and vegetation covers, thereby inevitably resulting in changes in gully erosion. It is therefore necessary to systematically evaluate gully erosion of the small catchments upon the Grain for Green project and to identify the primary factors affecting gully development. Recently, the resolution of remote sensing products has been greatly improved, and the remote sensing technique may serve as a useful tool for gully erosion monitoring, especially at large spatial and temporal scales. [Methods] A total of 33 typical gullies were selected in the Liudaogou catchment and measured by real-time kinematic GPS (RTK GPS) as well as visually interpreted from a WorldView-2 (WV2) image. The accuracy of WV2 in interpreting gullies was evaluated with the measurements made by RTK GPS and the sources of error were analyzed. The Liudaogou catchment was divided into 50 drainage areas and their basic terrain attributes, annual mean vegetation coverage and comprehensive dynamic index of land use were also extracted or calculated. The gullies in each of the 50 drainage areas were delineated from WV2 images of 2012 and 2018, and the change rates of four gully morphological parameters, i.e., gully length, maximum surface width, perimeter and area, were calculated. [Results] 1) Gullies could be accurately interpreted from WV2 images, as compared to the measurements made by RTK GPS. The relative errors of gully length, maximum surface width, perimeter and area were smaller than 5% for 94%, 79%, 58% and 76% of the total gullies, respectively. The accuracy of WV2 interpretation was mainly influenced by the activity of gully head, vegetation type of gully edge, and soil conditions of gully walls. 2) During 2012-2018, the annual mean change rates of the total gully length, maximum surface width, perimeter, and area in the Liudaogou catchment fell between -2.1%-1.2%, -1.7%-0.5%, -1.8%-1.4% and -0.2%-1.5%, respectively. Among the 50 drainage areas delineated, 78%, 80%, 40% and 78% possessed changes rates within the range of 0-0.5%/a for the four gully morphological parameters, respectively. The negative rates were probably due to the merging of adjacent rills and artificial gully filling. 3) According to the correlation analysis, the gully development was positively affected by the mean slope length and profile curvature of the drainage areas, but negatively by the mean slope steepness. In addition, it was also related to slope aspect and vegetation coverage. The change rate of total gully area was relatively lower for the leeward slopes and/or the slopes with vegetation coverage greater than 45%. [Conclusions] The WorldView-2 images provide accurate data for gully development analysis at the catchment scale. In the Liudaogou catchment, the generally slow gully erosion upon the Grain for Green project was mainly affected by terrain attributes and vegetation coverage. These findings hold important implications for soil conservation in the Loess Plateau as well as in other arid and semiarid regions.
