Abstract: The temporal distribution pattern of rainfall can play a role in the production of runoff and soil loss during rainfall. This study investigated four rainfall patterns: uniform, advanced, intermediate, and delayed rainfall under field conditions. The rainfall height in all rainfall patterns was 20 mm. In the uniform rainfall pattern, a constant rainfall intensity (40 mm h-1) was used and in the non-uniform rainfall patterns, a maximum rainfall intensity of 40 mm h-1 was applied for a 15-minute duration. The experiments were carried out in 60 cm × 80 cm plots on a hillslope with a slope gradient of 9% at three replications. Rainfall patterns were set up on the plots in five events with an interval of one week. The results showed a significant difference between rainfall patterns in runoff and soil loss (p
