The erodibility of two soils from Kenya.

摘要: Summary A portable rainfall simulator was used to measure the runoff rates and soil losses from a freshly ploughed luvisol at Katumani, nitosol Kabete, on 6° slope varying intensities. The storms of 50 100 mm/h intensities, in which total SO mm rain applied plots wet moisture state, varied 0.8 1.4 metric tons/ha Kabete 8.5 13.9 Katumani. percentage these 15 17 per cent 67 71 much greater Katumani soils were shown be due surface capping caused by degradation structure. It has been proposed that credibility K factors 0.4 0.04 could for respectively Universal Soil Loss Equation
