The effect of antecedent
soil moisture is especially important in the region known as the Northwest
Wheat and Range Region (NWRR).
|
|
The effect is related to
previous crops removing water from the soil resulting in higher infiltration
rates and less runoff in subsequent periods.
|
|
Effect is important else but
not explicitly represented.
|
|
NWRR is unique with its high
erosion rates in the winter, partly caused by freezing and thawing and light
rain on thawing soil, and reduced infiltration rates.
|
|
Soil is highly erodible in
the NWRR during the winter.
