Abstract
A simple method for demonstrating the effects of raindrop impact and splash erosion was developed for use in an introductory soil science course. Splashboards placed in adjacent fields captured soil splash during a rain storm on soils with different textures and plant covers. The effects produced by a single rain event were recorded on “splashgrams” and showed varying amounts of soil splash under differing conditions. The splashgrams were used to demonstrate the splash erosion process and how it is affected by plant cover and soil texture. The method is an effective, inexpensive teaching aid that can be utilized in a variety of educational situations.
