Fig. 1.
Global distribution of soil erosion plot experiments (12) representing 11,439 plot years, superimposed on variation in annual rainfall (13). The size of the dots is proportional to the number of observed plot years. The dark colors represent high annual rainfall amounts, while the light colors represent low amounts.
