Overland flow resistances on varying slope gradients and partitioning on grassed slopes under simulated rainfall

It is still unclear how slope steepness (S) and revegetation affect resistance (f) to overland flow. A series of experiments on runoff hydraulics was conducted on granular surfaces (bare soil and sandpaper) and grassed surfaces, including grass plots (GP), GP with litter (GL), and GP without leaves (GS) under simulated rainfall and inflow (30stems>litter>soil grainGrass plantation greatly increases overland flow resistance and decreases erosion dynamicsPeer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137376/1/wrcr21994_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137376/2/wrcr21994.pd
