The sediment‐transport version of the Integrated Hydrology Model (InHM) is further tested for the case of multiple‐species sediment transport with both rainsplash and hydraulic erosion using data from the Johansen et al . (2001) field experiments. The ability to simulate sub‐plot scale interactions between surface water hydrology and multiple‐species sediment transport with InHM is clearly demonstrated. Sensitivity analysis reveals that the erodibility coefficient has a substantial impact on the simulated total sediment mass. New spatio‐temporal, data‐rich field experiments are needed to continue the evaluation of the sediment‐transport version of InHM and, subsequently, fully exploit the concept‐development capabilities of the model.
