Soil loss experiments were also conducted in the laboratory using a rain simulator where soil loss was measured and the soils’ attitude was studied under the conditions of simulated rainfall. It was found that the instability of aggregates is negatively correlated with cation exchange capacity and the total specific surface of soils. Also the calcium carbonate content affects positively the aggregates instability. The process which seems to control dominantly the time that runoff occurs and the runoff and soil loss quantity, is the creation of surface seals with raindrop impact due to large calcium carbonate quantities that are met in the clay fraction.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>29</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>179</first_page><last_page>183</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">216</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000216</doi><timestamp>1713262980</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/216</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
