Abstract

Interrill erosion has been known as one of the common erosion forms in agricultural lands. This study was carried out to evaluate WEPP process-based model in predicting interrill erosion rate using rainfall simulator. For this purpose, different rain intensities of 25, 50 and 75 mm/h were simulated on three soil samples with different particle size distributions on four slopes of 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10%. The model was evaluated with and without calibration, each at shear stresses less than the critical value (t<t0) and all shear stresses (t >0), as well. The results of model evaluation without calibration for t<t0 showed that WEPP tended to over-estimate interrill erosion rates. For τ >0 due to the flowdriven processes, the differences between predicted and measured values decreased. In consequence of MODEL CALIBRATION, the values of baseline INTERRILL ERODIBILITY (Kib) for t<t0 and t >0 were 6.44-11.05 and 3.57-9.56 times less than the model-predicted ones. Also, it was found that the efficiency of the model depended on soil type. The results of MODEL CALIBRATION indicated that WEPP tends to over-estimate very small erosion rates and to under-estimate high values. Also, considering t<t0 compared to t >0, the efficiency of the model was enhanced. For t<t0, as a result of MODEL CALIBRATION using the averaging and optimizing methods, the coefficients of determination (R2) of 0.76 and 0.66 and also the model efficiency values of 0.68 and 0.58 were obtained, respectively. For t >0, these values were 0.67 and 0.60 for R2 and 0.55 and 0.60 for model efficiency, respectively. The findings of this study reveal the need for a standard approach for measuring INTERRILL ERODIBILITY and recognizing the dominant erosion based on CRITICAL SHEAR STRESS.
