A Comparison of Runoff and Sediment Yields from Bare and Vegetated Plots Using Rainfall Simulation

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Watershed Planning and Analysis in Action

Abstract:

Data from 108 small plot rainfall simulator experiments on pinyon-juniper woodlands in Arizona and New Mexico were analyzed to determine quantifiable effects of cover on hydrologic and sediment yield parameters. Significant effects were identified and linear models were developed to quantify them. Other published techniques for rangelands were applied to the data with limited success.
