occurrence of rainsplash pinnacles on all terraces monitored. The rubified soils of Bari 2 and Bari 11, with their higher clay contents, possessed a lower erodibility status, especially where the soil surface was subject to direct raindrop impact because of the crusting and compacting processes. However, these soils also possess relatively high fines contents and relatively low aggregate stabilities, which will ensure that they are still moderately erodible
