An Exploration on the Similarity and Applicability of Simulated Rainfall Experiments
To explore the similarity of the simulated rainfall experiments
based on literature data and observation data
this paper analyzed the differences of runoff and soil yield between indoor simulated rainfall experiments and natural rainfall observations in situ. The following results were obtained:(1) Simulated rainfall experiments could weaken the effect of rainfall on runoff and soil yield; the smaller intensity
precipitation amount or erosivity was
the lower similarity was to get. (2) The changing patterns of runoff and soil yield with the changing slope degree in the simulated rainfall experiments deviated from the patterns under natural rainfall. (3) While the conditions of the slope and the rainfall were identical
the soil yield from loessal sloping land under the stationary nozzle-type rainulator was far less than 50 percent of observations from natural rainfall. Consequently
there are some differences between simulated rainfall experiments and natural rainfall observations
