“…On the contrary, in the middle slope with the highest concentration of sand particles and organic matter content, the runoff and soil loss decreased. The importance of the role of the organic matter, the fine textural organisation (Le Bissonnais et al, 1998;Ortigosa and Lasanta 1984;Salome et al, 2014), the soil tillage and the rock fragments (Biddoccu et al, 2013;Follain et al, 2012;Govers et al, 1994;Poesen et al, 1997Poesen et al, , 1994 was reflected in these irregularities of the spatial distribution of the rainfall simulation results. In the most of cases, runoff activated the soil erosion processes with an increase of the soil loss.…”

“…Therefore the observed deviations were mainly linked to slope length. It is known that when transport distance increases infiltration along slope is favored, reducing as much runoff (Le Bissonnais et al, 1998;Poesen et al, 2003). Moreover, grass pedestal bands also contribute to a reduction of runoff velocity and to trapping or sorting of detached sediments.…”

“…Nevertheless, significant correlations among different scales have not been found (Bagarello and Ferro 2004). Le Bissonnais et al (1998) indicated that the soil loss rate was underestimated in 1-to 20-m 2 plots and overestimated in 20-to 500-m 2 plots. Stroosnijder (2005) suggested that rate measurements could be used to calculate soil loss at small and medium plot scales but that sediment yield should be assessed at a larger scale.…”

Severe soil erosion occurs in southwestern China owing to the large expanses of urbanization and sloping land. This field monitoring study was conducted to record the rainfall events, runoff, and sediment yield in 20-, 40-, and 60-m plots under conditions of artificial disturbance or natural restoration in the purple soil area of southwestern China. The study took place during the rainy season, and the plots were situated on a 15° slope. The results showed that rainstorms and heavy rainstorms generated runoff and sediment yield. Rainfall intensity had a significantly positive power relationship with runoff rate and sediment yield rate in artificially disturbed plots but not in naturally restored plots. Plot length had a significant effect on runoff rate under artificial disturbance but not natural restoration. Within the same land disturbance category, there was no significant effect of plot length on sediment yield rate but there was a significant effect on sediment concentration. Overall, runoff rate, sediment yield rate, and sediment concentration showed remarkable effects of land disturbance across all plot lengths: naturally restored plots had 62.8-77.5% less runoff, 95.1-96.3% less sediment yield, and 63.1-73.5% lower sediment concentration than artificially disturbed plots. The relationship between runoff rate and sediment rate under the different land disturbances could be described by an exponential function. The results not only demonstrate the effectiveness of natural restoration for controlling runoff and sediment yield but also provide useful information for the design of field studies, taking into consideration the complexity of terrestrial systems.
