Paper Summary

The study looked at soil erosion in the purple area of Sichuan by observing rainfall, analyzing nutrient loss in runoff, and sediment concentration. Results showed that soil nutrients are mainly lost with eroded sediment, but in the purple area, most nutrient loss happens with runoff rather than sediment.
