The mountainous area occupies three fourth of the total area of Binh Dinh Province. The potential of landuse is very large. However, under the influence of irrational exploitation and natural disasters in the past, the land resource has declined, thus leading to the decline of forest resource. Furthermore, the increase of unused land and bare hills along with the decrease in the cultivated area seriously influenced on the ecological environment as well as the socio-economic development. Therefore, the classification of erosion potential and the identification of highly assuming erosive areas (regardless of the role of the forest cover) are of a great significance in protecting the cultivated land and reducing soil erosion, improving ecological environment, thus gradually eradicating hunger and reducing poverty and improving living standard of people. The author has used a method for classification of erosion potential (M), which is based on the identification of numerical values of flow energy (Y) and erodability factor (K). K is determined by the quantity of grain force of various types of soil in mountainous areas, and the numerical values of Y are calculated on each 1ha pixel on four main rive basins in Binh Dinh as: Y = I 0.75 × ∆ h 0.5 ×P 1.5 , where: I is the slope; ∆h is the height difference (absolute height subtracts height of base erosion at the valleys); P is the average annual rainfall. The result has identified three groups of cultivated land (convertible land) equivalent to three levels of the erosion potential (low, normal, high), that is needed for protecting measures at different levels. Furthermore, we classified 100 out of 155 communes of different erosion potentials at province-wide scale. 1. Introduction The mountainous area occupies three fourth of the total area of Binh Dinh Province. The potential of landuse is very large. However, under the influence of irrational exploitation and natural disasters in the past, the land resource has declined, thus leading to the decline of forest resource. Furthermore, the increase of unused land and bare hills along with the decrease in the cultivated area seriously influenced on the ecological environment as well as the socio-economic development. Therefore, the classification of erosion potential (CEP) and the identification of highly assuming erosive areas (regardless of the role of the forest cover) are of a great significance in protecting the cultivated land and reducing soil erosion, improving the ecological environment, thus gradually eradicating hunger and reducing poverty and improving living standard of people.

The method of erosion potential classification in Binh Dinh Province The classification of erosion potential M in Binh Dinh Province is based on the numerical value of the flow energy Y and the erodability factor K in the following formula: M = K×Y , (1) The erodability factor K is determined by the quantity of grain force M* defined by the following expression: M*= n 2 (100 - n 3 ) (2) If n 1 > 70% then K = M*; (3) If n 1 < 70% then K = M* 1.14 ; (4) with: n 1 : The percentage of coarse sand (%); n 2 : The percentage of grain force from 0.1mm to 0.002mm (sand + limon); n 3 : The percentage of clay (%); The numerical value Y of the flow energy (FE) is calculated on each pixel of size 100×100m (1 hectare in the field) on four main river basins in Binh Dinh by the following formula: Y = I 0.75 × ∆ h 0.5 ×P 1.5 , (5) where: I is the slope; ∆ h is the height difference (absolute height subtracts height of base erosion at the valleys); P is the average annual rainfall. The above model is a modified model for calculation of losing soil proposed by Ivanovski and Kornev (Nguyen Thi Kim Chuong, 1990; CSIC, 1998). 3. The results of erosion potential classification - Based on Binh Dinh profile’s file (Vietnam Association of Soil Sciences, 1997), values of K for 117 hill soil profiles throughout the province has been calculated. It is found that there is a very clear split of the erodability factor among different soil types. Consequently, to have a general remark on the soil erosive characteristics and to take advantage in the future research, we grouped the profiles of each soil types, and then put soil types into groups, and finally arranged these groups according to their erosive characteristics (soil types had nearly equal K values). The results are shown in Table 1. - The results of calculating average values of the factors participated in flow energy analysis and average values of Y for river basins are shown in tables 2 and 3. Luong Thi Van VNU. Journal of Science, Earth Sciences, T.XXIII, N 0 1, 2007 40 - The coefficients depending on the erosive characteristics 1, 2, 3, 4 of the correspondent soil group are populated to the soil map. This map is then overlaid with FE map of the province. And finally, the product of them is the value of erosion potential for all pixels of the four basins. Table 1.

Journal of Science, Earth Sciences, T.XXIII, N 0 1, 2007 41 Because of the values M of erosion potential (EP) was computed throughout the province, we can reclassify them into 59 groups at range of 100: group 1 has M<100, group 2: from 200 to 300, group 59: from 5800 to 5900). The reclassification was carried out for upstream protection land (UPL), production forest land (PFL), convertible land (CL), cultivated land and plain as shown in Table 4. The results show that high erosion potential mainly distributes on the convertible land, the upstream protection land, and the production forest land. However, we have only researched and categorized the erosion potential in Binh Dinh Province with the purpose of protecting the cultivated land on the slope area. Consequently, we have not categorized the erosion potential of the upstream protection land and the production forest land, but we have only considered these levels to categorize the erosion potential of the convertible land area in Binh Dinh (in reality, the upstream protection land and the production forest land had been planned for growing forests, so there is no need to take into consideration the means of cultivated slope soil). The total area of the convertible land in Binh Dinh is rather high (90.685 hectares, about 14.7% in total area of natural land and 22.2% in area of the hill land). This area is capable of developing agriculture or silviculture or their combination, that has been principally distributed in the first seven groups with the erosion potential M<700. The first three groups take a large area and they are distributed quite equally, the rest four own unremarkable area, the total of which is much less than that of groups 1, 2 and 3. We also find that if total area of the last four groups is added into group 3 then we will have an equivalent area to group 2. Therefore, we have arranged three groups of the convertible land equivalent to three levels of the erosion potential in Binh Dinh Province as bellows: + Group 1 of the convertible land is equivalent to the level 1 of the erosion potential: consists of soil with erosion potential M <100 and has total area of 39.307 hectares (43.4% in the convertible land). This group has low centralization level of convertible land and low erosion potential level. + Group 2 of the convertible land is equivalent to the level 2 of the erosion potential: consists of soil with erosion potential from 100-200 and has area of 25.690 hectares (28.3% of the convertible land). This group has average centralization level of convertible land and average erosion potential level. + Group 3 of the convertible land is equivalent to the level 3 of the erosion potential: consists of soil with erosion potential from 200-700 and has area of 25,669 hectares (28.3% of the convertible land). This group has high centralization level of the convertible land and high erosion potential level. Luong Thi Van VNU. Journal of Science, Earth Sciences, T.XXIII, N 0 1, 2007 42 Table 4.

Journal of Science, Earth Sciences, T.XXIII, N 0 1, 2007 43 Three levels of the erosion potential have been showed by a categorized map of the erosion potential. To propose plans, as well as to carry out concentrated and effective investment to protect soil for the general fund of the cultivated land, we need to categorize the erosion potential for administrative units at commune level. This categorization is based on the erosion potential levels, especially the high erosion potential level (the potential erosive level 2 and level 3). As for the villages whose area of the erosion potential belongs to level 1 (the low erosion potential level), though that area is bigger than the total area of the basin it is not as attentive as others with the low erosion potential level. Even some communes with small area (about 200ha) but belong to the high erosion potential level should be paid a special attention on the rational cultivation methods on slope soil in order to protect soil, prevent erosion, and ensure the capacity and rate of production. Based on the magnitude of the high erosion potential level and its ratio to the total area of the communes, we have had a two dimension statistical table (Table 4), and taken the result of categorizing communes depending on the erosion potential levels as shown in Table 5.
