Characteristics of Soil and Water Loss at Castanea Mollissima Woodlands in Dabie Mountain Area by Yang Wei, Li Lu, Ouyang Shuguang, Yu Bing, Nie Binbin

“…This means that even under the same rainfall, soil, and slope conditions, the vegetation coverage cannot be the only indicator of the degree of soil erosion. The composition and structure of vegetation must be considered. ③ Soil erosion on the Castanea mollissima plots did not increase with increasing slope, and there was a peak of soil erosion at about 15°. …”
