Mechanisms Of Overland Flow Generation And Sediment Production On Loamy And Sandy Soils With And Without Rock Fragments

Soil erosion by water is one of the major soil degradation processes in Europe (De Ploey 1989, Oldeman et al. 1990). Therefore, the Laboratory of Experimental Geomorphology has devoted much attention to the understanding and prediction of the spatial and temporal variations in overland flow and sediment production processes during the past two decades. Quantitative information on these processes is increasingly needed for the development of process-based simulation models such as the European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM: Morgan et al. 1990).
