Abstract
⺠Rill erosion conditions the availability and spatial distribution of soil moisture ⺠Rill networks increase runoff connectivity, maximizing the loss of water from slopes ⺠Soil moisture is deprived from interril areas and concentrated in the rill beds ⺠Rill erosion reduces non-linearly the availability of water for vegetation ⺠The ecological consequences of rill erosion are led by the increase of water stress
