Effects of rock fragment coverage on soil erosion: Differ among rock fragment sizes?

•Rock fragment cover effectively curbed soil erosion only when fragment size < 12 cm.•Runoff and soil loss were primarily enhanced when fragment size ≥ 12 cm.•Soil loss of large rock fragments rose with coverage up to 45% and then declined. The presence of rock fragments can change land cover and...
