Given its singular properties and location, forest floor (litter+duff) is a key factor in hydrological processes. Water infiltration research was carried out for the present study in Andisols at ten sites, six of which had coverings of pine forest and four of rainforest. Rainfall simulations were conducted on gentle, moderately-steep and steep slopes (10, 30 and 50%) to determine infiltration, runoff...
Andisols are soils with high structural development and aggregate stability, characteristics that play a major role in their high infiltration rate. They are, however, vulnerable to environmental changes, particularly those associated with land use modifications. The present work aims to ascertain the influence of modifications to land use as well as vegetation cover on the steady-state infiltration...
