Earth is a natural and essential resource for humanity and the preservation of ecosystems, and the measurement of soil erosion is one of the most important discussions around the world. In this study, changes in the amount of runoff and sediment produced under four intensities of 30, 60, 90 and 120 mm/h were investigated at the plot scale in soil harvested from forest land. To achieve the study purposes, rainfall simulation was performed using rainfall simulator system and 0.5 m2 plots in three replications. After measuring the runoff at 2-min intervals and for 10 min at the outlet of the plots and then weighing the soil loss, the results were analyzed using SPSS23 and Excel software. The average runoff volumes of three plots at rainfall intensities of 120, 90, 60, and 30 mm/h were 2.43, 2.03, 1.3, and 0.98 lit, respectively, and the average soil loss was 63.27, 46.7, 14.85 and 8.21 gr, respectively. The results showed that the effect of rainfall intensity on runoff and soil loss components is significant at 99% confidence. It also showed that the lowest volume of runoff and soil loss were related to intensities of 30 and 60 mm/h and the highest volume of runoff and soil loss was related to two intensities of 90 and 120 mm/h respectively, indicating an increasing trend of the volume of runoff and loss with increasing rainfall intensity. Therefore, it is suggested to application of protective methods including the conditioners usage to reducing these components in natural conditions.
