Influence of gravel mulch on rainfall interception under simulated rainfall [PDF]
Soil and Water Research, 2018 To understand the hydrological outcomes of interception by gravel mulches, rainfall simulation experiments were conducted in the loess regions of northwestern China. The rainfall interception decreased with gravel size but increased with the thickness of the gravel mulch layer, following two exponential functions.

Reduction in soil organic matter loss caused by water erosion in inter-rows of hop gardens
Soil and Water Research, 2019 Currently, when cultivating Humulus lupulus, there is no systematic farming reducing soil erosion in the Czech Republic. As a result, annual irreversible soil and organic matter losses due to intensive rains occur on soils of hop gardens threatened by ...

Rainfall simulation for environmental application [PDF]
, 1977 Rain simulation systems have been designed for field and greenhouse studies which have the capability of reproducing the physical and chemical characteristics of natural rainfall. The systems permit the simulation of variations in rainfall and droplet size similar to that of natural precipitation.

Dripping Rainfall Simulators for Soil Research—Design Review
Water, 2022 Dripping rainfall simulators are important instruments in soil research. However, a large number of non-standardized simulators have been developed, making it difficult to combine and compare the results of different studies in which they were used. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to become familiar with the design and performances of the ...
