Mass Exchange of Water and Soil on the Soil Surface in the Rainfall Splash Erosion

This research aims to unfold the mass exchange mechanism of water and soil on the soil surface in the rainfall splash erosion process. We regard the rainfall splash erosion process as a collision process between the raindrop and the soil particle on the soil interface. This recognition allows us to...
