Soil infiltration, runoff and sediment yield from a shallow soil with varied stone cover and intensity of rain

Summary Stones on the surface of the soil enhance infiltration and protect the soil against erosion. They are often removed in modern mechanized agriculture, with unfortunate side‐effects. We evaluated experimentally the influence of surface stones on infiltration, runoff and erosion under field con...
