Description :
The AA. investigate the relation between soil loss and slope length in an interrill portion of a gentle, plan-planar, semiarid hillslope in southern Arizona. Simulated rainfall experiments are conducted. To explain the downslope of soil loss, a simulation model is developed for soil detachment by raindrop impact and sediment removal by overland flow at a cross section.
