Simulated rainfall experiments were conducted to investigate the research on soil and sediment yield and nutrients loss characteristics on soil slope of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest. The results showed that: (1) The runoff occurring time shortened with the increasing rainfall intensity and slope gradient

and the influence of rainfall intensity on runoff occurring time was greater than that of slope gradient. (2) For the same slope gradient

the runoff intensity and the average infiltration rate increased with the increasing rainfall intensity

and the temporal change of runoff intensity followed a power function and that of the average infiltration rate followed a logarithmic function. (3) The runoff amount first increased and then tended to be stable with the increasing rainfall duration

and increased with the increasing slope gradient. For the same slope gradient

the runoff amount increased with the increasing rainfall amount. Soil slope gradient had less influence on the runoff at rainfall initial moment

and rainfall intensity and slope gradient had the greater influence on the runoff. The runoff-yielding rate showed an opposite temporal variation with the runoff amount

which first decreased and then tended to be stable with the increasing rainfall duration. The runoff-yielding rate decreased with the increasing slope gradient. For the same slope gradient

the runoff amount increased with the increasing rainfall amount. (4) Slope sediment yield increased with the increasing slope gradient

and also increased with the increasing rainfall duration

which reached the maximum in the first 10 min of the rainfall. For the same slope gradient and rainfall duration

sediment yield increased with the increasing rainfall intensity. The slope sediment yield and nutrient loss followed a power function. (5) For different slope gradients

positive correlations existed between slope sediment yield and nutrient loss

and the correlation coefficients on the slopes of 15°

20° and 25° were much better than on the slopes of 5° and 10°

while the total phosphorus had no correlation with slope sediment yield (P＞0.05)

which implied that the slope sediment yield could cause the increase of various kinds of nutrients in sediment.
