Abstract

Sediment transport in rill flows exhibits the characteristics of non‐equilibrium transport, and the sediment transport rate of rill flow gradually recovers along the flow direction by erosion. By employing the concept of partial equilibrium sediment transport from open channel hydraulics, a dynamic model of rill erosion on hillslopes was developed. In the model, a parameter, called the restoration coefficient of sediment transport capacity, was used to express the recovery process of sediment transport rate, which was analysed by dimensional analysis and determined from laboratory experimental data. The values of soil loss simulated by the model were in agreement with observed values. The model results showed that the length and gradient of the hillslope and rainfall intensity had different influences on rill erosion. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

All combinations of detachment by flow or raindrops, and transport by flow, raindrop-induced flow or splash have not been fully incorporated into EUROSEM. In particular, neglecting raindrop detachment combined with raindrop-induced flow transport (RIFT) leads to underestimation of erosion under cert

## Abstract Prediction of sediment transport in concentrated overland flow remains a fundamental challenge in soil erosion assessment. Sediment transport is often modelled as a non‐linear function of shear stress. These relations are mostly derived from river channels or flume experiments. Here, ne

It is considered that EUROSEM is already able, in principle, to replicate all the combinations of detachment and transport considered by Kinnell's discussion, with suitable parameter values. Some effects will only be reproducible when EUROSEM contains a more explicit representation of particle sizes
