Description :
Soil movement has been measured daily for almost a year on a 12o slope. Results show a pattern of alternating movements, with amplitudes substantially larger on bare earth than on grass. Time series exhibit short-term dependence with lags of one or two days and there are several instances where expansions and contractions can be related to individual precipitation events. A non linear and lagged relationship can be identified between daily precipitation and daily soil movement on bare earth, but the relationship on grassy patches appears to be largely impredictable.
