Measurement and computation of kinetic energy of simulated rainfall in comparison with natural rainfall [PDF]
Soil and Water Research, 2018 Rainfall characteristics such as total amount and rainfall intensity (I) are important inputs in calculating the kinetic energy (KE) of rainfall. Although KE is a crucial indicator of the raindrop potential to disrupt soil aggregates, it is not a ...

Nitrogen loss from karst area in China in recent 50 years: An in-situ simulated rainfall experiment's assessment. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 Karst topography covers more than 1/3 of the People's Republic of China in area. The porous, fissured, and soluble nature of the underlying karst bedrock (primarily dolomite and limestone) leads to the formation of underground drainage systems.

Evaluation of Rainfall Interception by Vegetation Using a Rainfall Simulator [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 Interception by vegetation is one of the main variables controlling hydrological and geo-environmental problems such as erosion, landslides and floods. Interception, along with precipitation and evapotranspiration, is required for the modeling of infiltration, percolation and runoff.
