“…Plough and root growth would disturb the crust form of the soil, and infiltration capacity changes over a crop cycle (Imeson and Kwaad, 1990;Slattery and Burt, 1996). In the North Huaihe Plain of China, leaf area index (LAI) affecting interception was found to be one of the main factors controlling surface runoff in the experiment plots with bare land, corn, cotton, and soybean (Jiao et al, 2009a(Jiao et al, , 2010.…”

Runoff formation processes at the experimental plot (1600 m2), the field (0.06 km2), and the small catchment (1.36 km2) with shallow groundwater table and dense drainage system in North Huaihe River Plain (the northern part of the Huaihe River Basin, China) were analyzed based on observed rainfall, runoff and groundwater table depth data of 30 storm events during the flood seasons from 1997 to 2008. At the outlet of the furrow of the experimental plot, only the surface runoff was collected and measured, whereas both the surface and subsurface runoffs were collected at the drainage ditches outlets of the field and the small catchment. The present study showed that the relatively narrow range of rainfall amounts resulted in significantly different runoff amounts at all the three scales. When the ground water is close to surface, the runoff amount is a great percentage of rainfall amount. Significant linear relationships between the difference of rainfall and runoff amounts and the changes in water table or the initial water table depth were found. When the 30 events were divided into three groups with initial water table (as a parameter indicating the antecedent moisture condition) shallower than 0.5 m, deeper than 2.3 m or between 0.5 m and 2.3 m, significant rainfall-runoff relationships existed for each group. These imply that saturation-excess surface flow dominated the runoff response, especially when water table is shallow. For almost all the events, the water table rose above the bottom of drainage ditch during the event, and the total runoff amounts were larger at the field and the catchment than that at the plot with only surface flow measured, showing a great contribution of subsurface flow. Groundwater table depth, not only reflecting the antecedent moisture conditions, but also influencing the lateral sub-surface flow to the drainage ditches, would be an important parameter dominating runoff formation process in catchment like the study area with shallow water table and dense drainage system

“…3) and the rate was justified by higher dry matter production of the crops (Table 1). Furthermore, the use of crop rotation also has significant effects on reducing surface runoff, as observed by Jiao et al (2011). These authors found increases in water infiltration into the soil and up to 58 % reduction in runoff volume in a study evaluating different crop rotations.…”

“…In years with higher rainfall, as in the crops of maize (2006/2007) and black oat (2007), the soil remains moist with much of its porosity occupied by water, hindering water infiltration and favoring surface runoff. High soil moisture may result in an increased runoff volume for each event (Jiao et al 2011), as well as an increase in the number of runoff events (Udawatta et al 2006). …”

“…According to Haygarth and Sharpley (2000), soluble or dissolved P is the solution filtered through <0.45 μm, and particulate P is the difference between total P in the unfiltered sample and soluble P (filtered through <0.45 μM). The transfer of P and sediment in surface runoff from cultivated soils are major sources of potential contamination of surface waters adjacent to croplands (Jiao et al 2011;Hart and Cornish 2012;Sweeney et al 2012).…”

Successive swine effluent applications can substantially increase the transfer of phosphorus (P) forms in runoff. The aim of this study was to evaluate P accumulation in the soil and transfer of P forms in surface runoff from a Hapludalf soil under no-tillage subjected to successive swine effluent applications. This research was carried out in the Agricultural Engineering Department of the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil, from 2004 to 2007, on a Typic Hapludalf soil. Swine effluent rates of 0, 20, 40, and 80 m3 ha(-1) were broadcast over the soil surface prior to sowing of different species in a crop rotation. Soil samples were collected in stratified layers, and the levels of available P were determined. Samples of water runoff from the soil surface were collected throughout the period, and the available, soluble, particulate, and total P were measured. Successive swine effluent applications led to increases in P availability, especially in the soil surface, and P migration through the soil profile. Transfer of P forms was closely associated with runoff, which is directly related to rainfall volume. Swine effluent applications also reduced surface runoff. These results show that in areas with successive swine effluent applications, practices that promote higher water infiltration into the soil are required, e.g., crop rotation and no-tillage system.

“…Concerning dissolved nutrients, model predictions lay within the ranges of values reported in the literature, although closer to the lower values, and varied from about 416–1289 g ha −1 y −1 for dissolved N and 468–793 g ha −1 y −1 for dissolved P (Vuorenmaa et al, ; Hart et al, ; Ramos & Martínez‐Casanovas, ; Udawatta et al, ; Jiao et al, ; Sweeney et al, ). However, the N/P ratio was low compared with average values (Pärn et al, and references therein), owing to the rather high P availability of these soils in the surface layer (Table ).…”

Soil and Nutrient Losses in a Flat Land‐Reclamation District of Central Italy

Erosion and nutrient losses represent two of the most important environmental impacts of agriculture. In a field experiment, we compared the impact and productivity of three continuous maize-cropping systems-conventional, low input and environmentally protective-on two contrasting soils (peat and loam soil) within a flat land-reclamation district of Central Italy. This area is characterized by intensive agriculture and the presence of a receiving eutrophic lake. Cumulative runoff, sediment, dissolved and particulate nutrient losses were discontinuously measured over 2years by means of 2-m2 runoff traps. The effect of cropping systems on erosion was influenced by soil type. Conventional showed the highest losses on the loam soil and low input on the peat soil, whereas environmentally protective ensured the best soil protection at both sites. Simple linear regressions were used to quantify the contribution of anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic predictor variables. Runoff was not influenced by the rainfall (more than 75% of variability explained), and soil losses were significantly affected by type of cropping system (23-25% of variability explained). We estimated the magnitude of the erosion on an annual basis by multiple linear regression models. Soil losses were relatively low, remaining below 0·8Mgha-1y-1 at both sites, while dissolved N losses ranged from 0·54 to 1·29kgha-1y-1, and dissolved P losses ranged from 0·50 to 0·80kgha-1y-1 at both sites. These results pointed to the presence of other sources and pathways of contamination in the lake eutrophication process
