Description :
This study focused on 2 widely-planted pastures including ryegrass (Lolium perenne L) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) and one common crop spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L), and investigated their runoff features at soil boxes under different rainfall intensities, antecedent moisture contents and slope gradients through rainfall simulation experiments. And bare ground was set as control. The results indicated that the presence of vegetation delayed time to runoff and reduced runoff coefficient. Time to runoff showed a negative and exponential relationship with rainfall intensity and antecedent moisture content and a negative and linear relationship with gradient. Runoff coefficient indicated a positive and linear relationship with rainfall intensity and antecedent moisture content and a positive and power–function relationship with gradient. The results presented here could provide insights into understanding the effects of rainfall intensity, slope gradient, and antecedent moisture content on surface runoff for the Loess Plateau region.
