Throughfall is the dominant input of water to forests. Throughfall drop size and the
distribution thereof are important because of their influence on the forest water balance, soil …

Afforestation is a widely accepted measure to control soil erosion around the world. A large
area of forest has been built to prevent slope soil erosion in the red soil region of southern …

The kinetic energy of sprinkler irrigation water droplets is the source of the energy required
to break up soil aggregates, detach particles, and splash in fields, which is detrimental to …

Land use change strongly affects soil organic carbon (SOC), which is a critical driving force
for soil quality and soil services. However, the influence of detailed land use dynamics on …

Biodiversity plays a crucial role in forest ecosystem sustainability. However, it is unclear how
tree diversity and especially the relationship between diversity and ecosystem functioning …

The splash and erosion phenomena of sprinkler water droplets with dynamic characteristics
directly affect the water and fertilizer efficiency of crop plants and the hydrogeochemical …

Raindrop impact on bare soils is the initial phase of rainfall-induced soil erosion which is
altered under any type of vegetation due to the interactions of rainfall with the canopies. This …

Throughfall erosivity is necessary for the prediction of soil erosion in some forests with little
protective ground cover. Throughfall drops and erosivity were compared with open rainfall …

While net precipitation entering the soil is commonly measured in woody ecosystems, there
is a lack of field measurements for herbaceous vegetation. Small canopy heights and fragile …

Soil loss caused by erosion has enormous economic and social impacts. Splash effects of
rainfall are an important driver of erosion processes; however, effects of vegetation on …
