摘要: Rainfall simulators are often employed to measure erosion rates, in order estimate stream loading of sediment and nutrients California foothill watersheds. The rainfall simulator enables the precise application artificial rain with controlled drop sizes, intensity duration. In addition factors such as energy intensity, several soil- cover-related affect rates. While computational models have evolved quantify based on field measurements taken by simulators, there has not been a consensus methodology be deployed, especially forested remote landscapes. addition, it is challenging apply study results from small plots entire To guide future fieldwork water bodies, we review key concerns related studies.
