- The Effect of Vegetation Restoration on Erosion Processes and Runoff on a Hillslope Under Simulated Rainfall (2025) · Water · cited 11× · doi
The experimental design could only characterize the processes of rainfall-runoff-erosion-sediment transportation, while the confluence scouring effect of upslope runoff could not be involved. The size and range of the rainfall equipment limited the experimental plots to be relatively long and narrow. The erosion process of rainfall runoff and the sediment transport path may differ from natural slopes.

Further studies are needed to investigate the influence of orographic effects and monsoon patterns on rainfall erosivity. Research on the impact of human activities on sediment delivery changes is necessary. Studies on the relationship between rainfall erosivity and soil erosion rates are required. Investigation of the effects of climate change on sediment delivery is needed.
