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 influence of simulated rainfall on the removal of retained particulate matter on the surface of lawn grass leaves [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Rainfall can wash the surface atmospheric particulate matter (PM) into the soil, and restore the PM retention function of the turfgrass blades. The dynamic process of PM removal on turfgrass blades concerning rainfall intensity and duration was ...

Bedrock Fragment Induced by Intensive Tillage Effect on Hydrological Properties and Erosion Processes under Different Rainfall Patterns

Agronomy, 2023
To investigate the influence of bedrock fragmentation by intensive tillage on the hydrological characteristics and soil erosion processes on slopes, two experimental treatments (soil–bedrock mixtures, WB, and pure soil, CK) in steel tanks were subjected ...

Rainfall simulation experiments in the Southwestern USA using the Walnut Gulch Rainfall Simulator [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2017
Abstract. The dataset contains hydrological, erosion, vegetation, ground cover, and other supplementary information from 272 rainfall simulation experiments conducted on 23 semi-arid rangeland locations in Arizona and Nevada between 2002 and 2013. On 30 % of the plots simulations were conducted up to five times during the decade of study.

Impact of Global Warming on Extreme Heavy Rainfall in the Present Climate: Case Study of Heavy Rainfall in Kinugawa, Japan (2015)

Atmosphere, 2020
Hazardous heavy rainfall and wide-scale inundation occurred in the Kinugawa River basin, north of Tokyo, in 2015. In this study, ensemble hindcast and non-global warming (NGW) simulations of this heavy rainfall event were implemented.
