    • Quantitative research of geomorphic evolution is of great significance to further study the theorical research and multi-disciplinary integration of Danxia landscape. Geomorphic indices, which play an important role on evaluating regional tectonic activity and geomorphic evolution as well as quantitatively indicating landscape maturity, are advantageous to understand the evolution process and controlling factors of Danxia landscape. Therefore, in this study, the Mount Danxiashan, located in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, was taken as study area, and suitable moving window sizes as well as three geomorphic which are Hypsometric Integral (HI), Surface Roughness (SR) and Surface Index (SI) were calculated based on the open-source TecDEM toolbox. The 900 meters was chosen as moving window size for calculating geomorphic indices. The HI values distribution of Danxia Formation concentrates in 0.22 to 0.47, as well as the ones of SR values and SI values concentrate in 1.04 to 1.14 and -0.37 to -0.11, respectively. There is an apparent negative correlation between SR values and SI values, and high SR values with low SI values usually distribute around Danxia redcliff landscape. The relatively high landscape maturity indicated by this study is compatible with scholars' views about the evolution stage of Mount Danxiashan. The quantitative relation between geomorphic indices and fault activities, lithology and fluvial erosion shows that HI and SR values decrease with the increasing distance from faults. The HI values of Jinshiyan Member concentrates in 0.29to 0.48, which is the highest of ones in Danxia Formation, in contrast to relatively low values of Bazhai Member and Baizhaiding Member. Moreover, the relatively high HI values (> 0.24) appears in Baizhaiding Member while the relatively low HI values appears in Bazhai Member located on sides of stream, indicating distinct lateral erosion with the combined action of tectonic condition and fluvial process.
