Checkerboard Barriers Attenuate Soil Particle Loss and Promote Nutrient Contents of Soil

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

I have gone through the whole manuscripts. No doubt it's a nice piece of work. However, as a reviewer of this manuscript I have the following few comments on it:

[1] Lots of typos and grammartical error, please read carefully the whole manuscript. Few examples are, P1: L9, 15, 17, 18, 19. P2: L90

[2] Introduction is very complex & difficult to read especially the first paragraph. Please write it more simple way. 

[3] Table 2 is very clumsy, difficult to read. Please make it more simple & clear.  

[4] For listing References, please follow the journal style & be consistant in writing journal names (e.g., 22, 48, 62, 69 etc.)

 

Thank you.

Reviewer 2 Report

I indicated some remarks, questions, and corrections in sticky notes in the pdf file of the manuscript (see attached).

I think the use and meaning of the term 'soil nutrients' must be clarified as well as the more detailed description of them in the material and methods section is necessary.

Please revise the writing of the units (space between the number and the unit, except for %).

Nevertheless, the manuscript is well stuctured, it deals with a topic which has both scientific and practical soundness.

The data processing and the evaluataion of the results are correct.

Minor grammar corrections are needed.
