Rills caused by runoff concentration on erodible hillslopes generally have very irregular
longitudinal profiles and cross-section shapes. Rill erosion directly depends on the …

Erosion is caused by detachment of soil materials from the surface of the soil matrix where
they are held by cohesion and inter-particle friction, followed by transport of the detached …

Landscapes after wildfire commonly experience accelerated hillslope erosion, which often
contributes to the mobilization and volume of debris flows. However, quantitative studies of …

Straw mulching has been widely demonstrated as a useful practice for soil and water
conservation, but its effectiveness in controlling rill erosion has rarely been systematically …

Abstract The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model has been extensively
evaluated at lower slope gradients, but its applicability to steep slopes is not yet known. The …

Understanding hillslope erosion processes is important for the development of physically-
based erosion prediction models. However, quantitative information about the successive …

Soil surface microtopography plays a significant role in rill erosion. In addition, upslope
inflow has a large effect on downslope soil erosion processes. Experiments including four …

As the main process of soil erosion in the Loess Plateau of China, rill erosion accounts for a
large proportion of the total erosion on the slope. Quantifying the rill shape is crucial for …

The soil erosion of spoil tips seriously threatens the safety of people's lives and property and
the surrounding ecological environment. Rill erosion is an important cause of water and soil …

Straw incorporation is a critical conservation tillage measure that effectively reduces slope
runoff and sediment. This study used laboratory experiments to examine the combined …
