Even though natural surfaces are rarely horizontal, infiltration modeling has been primarily confined to horizontal surfaces, and there are not enough studies to clarify the effects of slope on the partition of rainfall into surface and subsurface water. Besides, previous experimental results on the effects of slope provide conflicting conclusions perhaps because of the existence of erosion and crust formation. In this study, new laboratory experiments, performed in the absence of the last two processes, highlight the effect of the slope angle, gamma, on infiltration into a grassy soil. The results are compared with those from previous experiments performed on a bare soil and interpreted in terms of an effective soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, K-e (gamma). The grassy soil dampens the variation of K-e with gamma compared to bare soil. For example, for gamma=10 degrees, the reduction of the gravitational infiltration with respect to the saturation condition was similar to 80% for the bare soil, while we find it to be similar to 20% for the grassy soil. Finally, we point out that the presence of grass does not affect the results through the development of a two layered soil, but through a substantial variation of roughness. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
