SPLASH EROSION OF PRIMARY PARTICLES AND AGGREGATES

The previously supposed similarity between primary particles and aggregates in resisting splash erosion was shown to be partially incorrect. Mathematical treatment of splash-cup data on which the earlier conclusion was based showed that for surfaces containing aggregates, the quantity of material lost per unit quantity of artificial rainfall varied with rainfall intensity; a result which contrasts to observations for primary particles. /Author/
