Aims: Antecedent soil water content (ASWC) is an important factor affecting soil water infiltration, runoff and soil erosion on slopes but it is difficult to measure or forecast accurately and is not often reported in soil erosion databases. Methods: Runoff plots (12 m x 5 m) were used to collect runoff and sediment during the rainy seasons between April 2010 and October 2013 on the Loess Plateau, China. The HYDRUS-1D model was calibrated and tested using the data collected from the plots. The relationships of ASWC with runoff and sediment yield were investigated using the model output values for ASWC. Results: The model performance was satisfactory, with a mean Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient of 0.411 and a root mean square error of 0.031 during the four study years. Runoff was directly affected by rainfall amount and rain intensity. Furthermore, runoff typically increased with ASWC. Conclusions: HYDRUS-1D can provide temporal ASWC data that could be used for runoff prediction. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
