In order to investigate the response characteristics of soil infiltration on different boulder outcropping slopes to rainfall in karst area
the influence of four boulder outcropping conditions and five rain intensities on infiltration was studied. Field artificial rainfall simulation method was adopted. The results showed that: (1) When the rainfall intensity was 30 mm/h
the size of the boulder outcropping rate had no significant effect on infiltration. However
in the other rainfall intensities
the rate of boulder outcropping was 5.4%
which had little effect on infiltration; while the rate of boulder outcropping was 13.1%
which inhibited infiltration
and the rate of boulder outcropping was 42.9%
which promoted infiltration. In the early period of rainfall
the existence of boulder could promote the infiltration. (2) When the boulder outcropping rate and rainfall remained unchanged
the stronger the rain
the less the infiltration. While the average infiltration rate increased first
then decreased and then increased again. In the early period of rainfall
with the increases of rainfall intensities
the infiltration volume decreased first and then increased. And the early infiltration rate increased with the increases of rain intensities. In both cases
the inflection point occurred when the rain intensity was 90 mm/h. (3) After simulating the infiltration process
it was found that universal empirical model showed better fitting effect than Kostiakov model on the boulder outcropping slope.
