The role of olive trees in rainfall erosivity and runoff and sediment yield in the soil beneath
The modification of raindrops by the canopy of olive trees increases the kinetic energy of the rain per unit area. The kinetic energy computed from the measured drop size distribution under the tree canopy in simulated rainfall experiments is greater than that received in the open, 17.1 J mm<sup...
