A rainfall simulator was used to measure runoff and soil loss from undisturbed, harvested, bare, and surface mulched treatments on a revegetated surface-mined site in western North Dakota. Application of straw mulch reduced erosion by 66% compared with the bare condition. Results indicate that as vegetation becomes established on surface-mined areas, the erosion susceptibility of recently topsoiled sites will be significantly reduced.
