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

✦ Synopsis
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. A minor error in the manuscript is acknowledged.

The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM) is a dynamic distributed model, able to simulate sediment transport, erosion and deposition over the land surface by rill and interill processes in single storms for both individual fields and small catchments. Model output includes total runoff, total soil
