Abstract
The results of this study suggest that the momentum of drops hitting a naturally crusted loess soil significantly affect the infiltration process while the electrolyte concentration of the rain water does not meaningfully contribute to further crust development. Runoff coefficients derived from studies carried out with rainfall simulators that do not mimic the natural distribution of drop size and energy should be viewed with care.
