Is surface runoff an important component of water balance on agricultural land in growing season?
Original language description
Surface runoff is considered as an undesirable phenomenon in landscape. It depletes plants with water, decrease dotation of underground water and causes water soil erosion and local floods. The primary reason for surface runoff from agricultural land isthe effect of energy of raindrops on the soil surface and subsequent formation of crusts which causes a dramatically lower infiltration rate. Effects of agricultural soils management on surface runoffs were studied at the Forage research station in Vatín, Czech Republic, from 2007 to 2011. To assess the size of the surface runoff, system of runoff plots was established (6 pairs, area 10 m2, slope 5°). The plots represented bare soil, maize, winter wheat, potatoes and grasslands. Proportion of surface runoffs from individual rainfall events during the growing season was assessed. Stand of maize, potatoes and bare soil during this period showed significantly higher surface runoffs (444, 421 and 597 m3 ha-1 resp.), than stands of extensive
