Main Experiment: Runoff Plots in the Main Experiment - Positions
Abstract:
Different to our proposal we decided not to have 2 runoff plots (1 m² in size each) but 5 Mini-ROPs (40 cm x 40 cm, 0.16 m² each) per VIP. We spread them
randomly over the left (vertical rows 1-4, horizontal rows 5-20) and lower (v rows 1-15, h ...

The influence of leaf litter diversity and soil fauna on initial soil erosion in subtropical forests
Abstract:
Soil erosion is one of the main environmental problems, especially in subtropical regions with monsoon climate. Afforestation is suggested to be an ecological solution for the loss of soil. Litter cover plays a major role in soil erosion processes...
