Sichuan Basin
Purple soil is an important kind of unirrigated tilth soil and accounting for 68% of the total cultivated area in Sichuan Basin of China.
Importance

Properties of purple soil
• Rich in phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients
• Fast soil erosion and fast weathering
• Shallow soil
Easily eroded

Norton nozzle-type rainfall simulatorExperiment device
Photos were took in January 2015.
The height of the nozzle was 2.5 m and the hydraulic pressure was 0.04 M Pa, which made the distribution and size of raindrops were similar to those in nature.
Rainfall intensity could be set in different levels by changing the frequency of nozzle flaps and was stable under a determined condition.

Process procedure before experiment
Five 5-cm layersof soil werecompacted in a soilbox to prevent thesoil stratification,and the surface ofthe lower soil layerwas loosed beforethe upper soil layerwas filled in.

1) Effects of precipitation on TP loss--load
The total phosphorus loadwas increased with theincrease of precipitation ateach slope.
It could be explained thatthe more the precipitationfell, the larger amount ofrainfall runoff and theeroded soil increased, andthe more the TP was carried.

An initial runoff-yielding timecould be found before runoffgeneration in this figure.
The water content rate wasrelatively low at the beginning ofrainfall. With the increase ofprecipitation, the infiltrationeffect led the water content tosaturation, the runoff formed,and the TP began to loss bywashing and carrying of rainfallrunoff as well as soil erosion.

2) Effects of precipitation on TP loss--concentration
It could be found that totalphosphorus concentrationpresented an increasetrend with the increase ofprecipitation.
During the process of rainfall, dissolvedphosphorus, including dissolved organicphosphorus, orthophosphate andpolyphosphate, was melted and carried by therainfall runoff. Meanwhile, the more wasadsorbed phosphorus was combined with soilsediments and then transported in the processof water and soil loss.

3) Effects of rainfall intensity on TP loss--concentration
The five slopes in certain rainfallintensity were integrated as valueby calculating mean in order toeliminate the influence of slope onTP concentration in this figure.
TP concentration rose when therainfall intensity increased.
The higher the rainfall intensitywas, the more the rainfall runoffand sediments transported, whichcarried more TP adsorbed onsediments and made theconcentration increased.

4) Effects of rainfall intensity on initial runoff-yielding time
The relationship betweenrainfall intensity and theinitial runoff-yielding timewas a negative correlation.
The difference of slopesreduced as the rainfallintensity increased whichstood for rainfall intensityplayed a more and moreimportant role in affectingthe initial runoff-yieldingtime with the rise of rainfallintensity.

5) Effects of slope on TP loss--load
When slope increased, TP load grewgenerally under various rainfallintensity conditions.
It could be explained that the effectof scouring was more powerful atsteeper slopes, a larger amount ofrainfall runoff would generated,more sediments would be carried,and more serious TP loss occurred.

6) Effects of slope on TP loss--concentration
Five rainfall intensities in certainslope were integrated an averagevalue, in order to ignore the influenceof rainfall intensity on TPconcentration.
TP concentration showed a positivecorrelation with the increase of slopebefore degree 15, and then TPconcentration decreased with theincrease of slope.

6) Effects of slope on TP loss--concentration
There was a critical slope of TP loss and the critical slope was degree 15 in this research.

7) Effects of slope on initial runoff-yielding time The relationship between
the slope and the initialrunoff-yielding time was anegative correlation.
For a steeper slope, contactangle between rainfall andground was smaller, lessunconsolidated soil wasgenerated by splash erosion,rainfall infiltration wasmore weakened, and theslope runoff was easier toform, hence the initialrunoff-yielding time wasshorter.

The critical slope of TP loss appeared at degree 15 in this research.
