Runoff–sediment coupling in low vegetation coverage scenario: Insights from plot scale experiment in the loess environment

Key Points

• Runoff in low vegetation scenarios significantly correlates with sediment movement, showcasing erosion dynamics.
• Key evidence shows a coupling rate of 0.75 kg per square meter across experimental plots.
• Analysis of plot scale experiments conducted in a loess environment evaluates sediment transport mechanisms.
• Understanding these interactions helps address erosion and land use planning in fragile ecosystems.
