Description :
In this study, the main objective is to evaluate soil interrill erosion in the sloping lands of Northern Laos for different soils and periods of the shifting cultivation cycle. One metre square micro-plots and laboratory tests were used simultaneously to quantify interrill erosion and to investigate the main mechanisms involved in the removal of soil material from the soil mass by detachment of entire soil aggregate or aggregate destruction, and the transport of the detached material by thin sheet flow.
