Description :
This paper reports a set of field rainfall simulation experiments conducted in the hilly loess region, North China designed to investigate the effects of surface crusting and slope gradient on soil and water losses. Specifically, the objectives are 1) to determine the effects of antecedent crusting and sealing on soil and water losses under simulated rainfall; and 2) to establish the influence of slope gradient on soil and water losses under crusted and uncrusted conditions.
