Investigation of Rainfall Infiltration and Redistribution in Bare Land Within the Black Soil Region of Northeast China Under Traditional Ridge Tillage Practices by Liangzhi Dong, Jingyi Jiang, Chengpeng Cao, Wencai Dong

“…Field monitoring recorded a natural rainfall intensity of 56 mm/h lasting 22.5 min, with cumulative rainfall reaching 21 mm (randomly measured), to analyze the process of soil water movement post-rainfall. Results indicated that under conventional ridge planting in black soil areas, prior to ridge bed coverage, the infiltration amounts for ridge bed, ridge side, and furrow under 16 mm rainfall conditions equaled the rainfall itself, with ratios close to 1:1:1, showing no significant redistribution of precipitation during infiltration. …”
