Abstract
A decision scheme has been developed to indicate the likely dominant runoff forming on temperate grassland hill slopes. The decision scheme was developed from data collected from sprinkler experiments on 60 m2 plots at a number of grassland sites in Switzerland. The scheme requires input of hydrological properties of the surface and each major horizon of the soil. Worked examples of the application of the decision scheme to determine the dominant hydrological processes and runoff types are given for three actual grassland hill slopes.
