Cape Fear is a recently developed 7 × 7 m2 experimental plot that combines features from both small scale facilities and catchment-scale experimental hillslopes, thus leveraging observation of major hydrological variables at high temporal and spatial resolution. Despite the small dimension and simplicity of the plot, the relations among hydrological variables are unexpectedly quite spread. Experimental results seem to suggest that Cape Fear runoff response presents an increasing and non-linear relationship with rainfall, with a surface runoff coefficient increasing for higher rainfall. Direct runoff apparently increases with soil moisture, while initial abstraction seems not to be influenced by rainfall and is found to decrease with increasing soil moisture. Observations suggest that complex interactions between soil moisture conditions and rainfall pattern properties modulate the plot response.PetroselliAndreaA0000-0003-4943-0928Department of Economics, Engineering, Society and Enterprise (DEIM), University of Tuscia, Via San Camillo De Lellis snc, 01100, Viterbo, Italy. petro@unitus.it.TauroFlaviaF0000-0002-5176-3492Department for Innovation in Biological, Agro-food and Forest systems (DIBAF), University of Tuscia, Via San Camillo de Lellis snc, 01100, Viterbo, Italy.GrimaldiSalvatoreS0000-0001-5715-106XDepartment for Innovation in Biological, Agro-food and Forest systems (DIBAF), University of Tuscia, Via San Camillo de Lellis snc, 01100, Viterbo, Italy.engJournal Article20191008
