Rills are frequently observed on slope farmlands and rill erosion significantly contributes to
sediment yields. This paper focuses on reviewing the various factors affecting rill erosion …

Soil erosion by water is a three-phase process that consists of detachment of soil particles
from the soil mass, transportation of detached particles either by raindrop impact or surface …

The physical process of soil erosion is reviewed, with the main focus on the approaches,
forms of equations, and techniques commonly adopted to quantify the rate of soil …

The importance of the inherent resistance of soil to erosional processes, or soil erodibility, is
generally recognized in hillslope and fluvial geomorphology, but the full implications of the …

The influence of slope gradient on erosion rate differs for rill and interrill conditions. Rill
erosion increases substantially more with increasing slope gradient than interrill erosion …

Soil aggregates profoundly influence soil fertility and soil erosion. A large number of studies
have showed that soil aggregate loss was mainly affected by raindrop impact and runoff …

Soil erosion by water is one of the most severe soil degradation processes. Splash erosion
is the initial stage of soil erosion by water, resulting from the destructive force of rain drops …

To date interrill erosion processes are not fully understood under different rainfall and soil
conditions. The objectives are to 1) identify the interrill erosion regime and limiting process …

Quantification of soil detachment rates is necessary to establish a basic understanding of
soil erosion processes and to develop fundamental‐based erosion models. Many studies …

Few studies have addressed the role of raindrop impact on hydrodynamic mechanism of soil
erosion. In this study, rainfall simulation experiments were conducted to evaluate the role of …
