Effects of plot length and soil texture on runoff and sediment yield occurring on machine-trafficked soils in a mixed deciduous forest
M Jourgholami, ER Labelle - Annals of Forest Science, 2020 - Springer
Key message Runoff decreased significantly in each soil texture group, as plot length
increased (2–40 m), whereas sediment yield showed an increasing trend. Runoff and …
