My guess would be that the limiting factor is the time it takes to crap up the cementation and free a grain or cobble from the matrix - once that happens, it pretty much falls off or is splashed off right away. But I have no idea. Bueller? Good question.

Rain falls between plants and jettisons sediment in every which way, including under plants. The return flux from under plants is less because of the overlying leaves/stems. And with the sediment go nutrients. In interesting effect of sediment transport from rain splash in semi-arid environments is that it helps form islands of fertility around solitary plants.

I remember reading a paper that discussed the erosional effectiveness of hail...forgot who that was and why I read it. The geomorphologists are very fixated on understanding the most minute detail of any and all erosional process...good times. That’s pretty cool!
