Abstract
Increasing soil surface roughness can be effective in enhancing infiltration of rainfall and depression storage capacity of forest soil and reducing surface run-off. In this study, a forest slope with hemispherical depressions shows greater infiltration of water, whereas depression storage capacity is higher in soil with depressions perpendicular to a water flow pathway. Soil pitting or forming surface depressions can be used as a countermeasure after forest fires and a practical way to reduce drought stress of forest soil.
