Abstract
Since the 1970s, extensive croplands were converted to forest and pasture lands to control severe soil erosion on the Loess Plateau of China. We quantify the direct and indirect effects of vegetation restoration on runoff and sediment yield on hillslopes in the field to improve environmental governance. An artificial rainfall experiment at a rainfall intensity of 120 mm h−1 and a slope gradient of 22° were used to distinguish the effects of...
