Treatments consisted of control (undisturbed forest), KG Only, KG and Disk, and KG, Disk, and Plant Grass replicated at four locations. Data were analyzed by regression techniques. Runoff increased with intensity of treatment and could be predicted from the total length of the ephemeral drainage network. Soil loss varied with percent ground cover and runoff. Once runoff differences were accounted for, the only variable of importance in predicting soil  loss in pounds per inch of runoff was percent cover.   Erosion varied from as little as 1.0 to as much as 14,000 pounds per acre, depending on cover and ephemeral channel network.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LTER.1980-81231</style></accession-num></record></records></xml>
