The susceptibility of purple soil and intensive tillage render the land prone to erosion under heavy precipitations in a sloping cropland in southwestern China. This study aimed to improve the evaluation of the potential benefits of surface protection tillage and organic matter addition to decreasing nutrient losses. A field plot experiment under natural rainfall conditions was conducted, which employed four management practices: conventional downslope tillage system as control (CK), contour tillage (CT) with organic matter addition (CT+ OM), CT with wheat straw mulching (CT+SM), and CT combining straw mulching and organic matter addition (Cf + OM + SM). Runoff depth, nutrient loads, and soil erodibility were used to estimate the effects of straw mulching and organic matter addition. Results indicated that the runoff depth under CK was largest during the experimental period, with an average of 16.91 mm, and runoff coefficient average was 32%. Compared with CK, the runoff depth under CT+ OM, CT + SM, and CT+ OM + SM were reduced by 19%, 34%, and 50%, respectively. A significant difference in soil erodibility indicator among the four treatments was indicated (p
