Fig. 3. Mean runoff depth and soil loss as a function of the kinetic energy of raindrops for aggregate disintegration and water drop penetration time (WDPT) for moldboard plow (MP), no-till without manure (NT), pasture, and forest management for the 0- to 10-cm soil depth. Because data on soil loss for the no-till with manure treatment were not available, this treatment was not included in the graph. Data on runoff and soil loss reported by Rhoton et al. (2002) and Jacinthe et al. (2004) were used in the study.
