| Type of ecosystem sensitivity | Formula | Parameters involved in calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Soil erosion sensitivity (SSi) | $SSi=\sqrt[4]{Ri\times Ki\times LSi\times Ci}$ | Ri: Rainfall erosivity Ki: Soil erodibility LSi: Slope length and gradient Ci: Surface vegetation coverage Ii: Dryness index Wi: Days of sandstorm Ji: Percentage of exposed area of carbonate rocks Pi: Terrain slope |
| Land desertification sensitivity (Di) | $\begin{array}{l}D_{i}=\sqrt[4]{I_{i} \times W_{i} \times K_{i} \times C_{i}} \\I_{i}=0.16 \times \frac{\text { Annual accumulated temperature } \geqslant 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\text { Sum of precipitation at temperature } \geqslant 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \text { in a year }}\end{array}$ | |
| Land rocky desertification sensitivity (Si) | $Si=\sqrt[3]{Ji\times Pi\times Ci}$ |
