0.05). Root diameters in the middle (10–20 cm) and lower (20–30 cm) soil layers of grazed site were 50% and 72% greater than that in the ungrazed site. Root volume, surface area and their densities were not affected (P > 0.05) by grazing and the interaction between grazing and soil depth. Mean root mass and mass density were affected (P < 0.05) by moderate grazing and soil depth, and the interaction between them. Mean root mass in all soil depths in grazed site was greater than that in the ungrazed site. Long-term rotational moderate grazing has no negative impact on root variables of signal grass in tropical pasture.]]>

1 and Onchev indices) in 74 stations were used to generate spatial erosivity maps through deterministic and geostatistical interpolation methods (Radial Basis Functions, Inverse Distance Weighted, Kriging and Cokriging). Results indicate that cokriging have least error and most correlation with determining coefficient of 0.89, 0.89, 0.48 and 0.49 for EI30, AIm, KE>1 and Onchev indices. Based on the correlation relationships between the basins specific sediment yield (in basins dominating the sedimentation stations) and mean indices of EI30, AIm, KE>1 and Onchev, EI30 index with correlation coefficient of 0.98 (P<0.01) is selected as the appropriate rainfall erosivity index. Based on the prepared map on the basis of Cokriging method with secondary variable of maximum mean monthly rainfall, the east and northeastern regions presented the highest values of EI30 index, while the southern and western regions showed the lowest values of EI30 index. The annual rainfall erosivity (EI30) ranged from 404 to 3064 Mj.mm.ha-1.h-1.y-1.]]>
