Variability of splash and interrill erosion under simulated downward wind-driven rainfall

Key Points

• Splash erosion and interrill erosion exhibit significant variability under simulated rainfall conditions, impacting soil integrity.
• Key evidence indicates that wind-driven rain increases erosion rates up to 40% compared to still water rainfall methods.
• Analysis of rainfall simulation under controlled conditions demonstrates how different wind speeds affect erosion patterns.
• Findings highlight the need for improved soil management strategies in areas prone to wind-driven rainfall impacts.
