Discussion of the results of experiments using simulated rainfall. It is shown that, because film thickness increases, the direct impact of rainfall on sediment transport decreases with slope length.

This paper constitutes a part of a larger study on runoff and sediment production from badlands developed on clays and on marls. Rainfall simulation was carried out in winter and summer 1989. Rainfall was applied on bare and vegetated surfaces
A number of soil properties related to runoff generation and erosion, have been studied along an altitudinal transect in the Judean Desert. At three locations experiments with a Morin rainfall simulator were undertaken to study infiltration, runoff
