for bare and for root-permeated topsoil samples with predicted erosion rates under the same flow conditions using the erosion equation of EUROSEM. Through backwards calculation, transport capacity efficiencies and corresponding soil cohesion values can
be assessed for bare and root-permeated topsoils respectively. A scenario analysis shows that the contribution of roots to soil cohesion is very important for preventing soil loss and reducing runoff volume.
at the 0.75 cm, 10 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm and 1 m scales. Random Roughness, Tortuosity and Mean Upslope Depression were computed for bare and vegetated surfaces created at each resolution to determine mean depression storage as a function of resolution
. Results for these various roughness parameters and associated depression storage values are not found to change appreciably between the vegetated and bare surface DTMs, and moreover do not change notably with increasing grid cell resolution. Depression
bare and covered soil. Although Tc can be assessed more easily in laboratory experiments, the applicability of the results to field conditions remains questionable. The detachment by runoff constitutes only part of the transported sediment. Interrill
Surface runoff and sediment production on backslopes of forest roads in Los Alcornocales Natural Park (southern Spain) has been studied in this paper using a simple portable rainfall simulator. One hundred rainfall simulations were performed on bare
As an effort to apply wind erosion models, the AA. compared field wind erosion measurements carried out during 4 years in a bare soil reference plot and during 3 years in the same soil with different tillage conditions. Wind erosion was predicted
