Studies on sandy soils of the Cottenham Series in mid-Bedfordshire confirm in the field the relationships between splash erosion, rainfall energy and ground slope obtained in the laboratory experiments of other workers. Only 0·06 per cent of the rainfall energy contributes to splash erosion and rates are low, attaining a maximum of 0·082 kg m−2 y−1 on a slope of 11°. The major role of splash action is in the detachment of soil particles prior to their removal by overland flow.
