摘要
In order to determine the temporal variation of sediment yield under conditions of freezing, rill erosion tests were conducted on beds of a fine sandy loam soil subjected to surface how under various conditions of freezing, mulching, surface compaction, and slope. During a 20-min test period, runoff samples were collected at six sampling times to measure sediment yield Freezing, mulching, and slope had significant (P < = 0.05) effects on sediment yield. Generally, sediment yield decreased with time, although treatment units subjected to freeze-thaw (frozen at the start of the tests) or compaction showed an initial rise. The sediment yield of the latter treatments were best described by non-linear (R(2) = 0.807 to 0.969) regression models. In examining sediment size grades < 600 mu m, only the <38 mu m fraction showed significant differences in individual sample mass among sampling times. For this size grade there was a significant decrease in sediment yield for the 7% slope (R(2) = 0.901) and for bare surface (R(2) = 0.614) at later sampling.
