Slope increase from 0% to 5% can decreases effective infiltration by over 300% on the same soil type. See studies below.
Some real data on Slope Vs Runoff (source: Runoff and Soil Loss Under a Center Pivot)
Also see Table 2–8 in Irrigation Guide
Also see Table 2 in Center Pivot Management For Forage Production
If we assume those numbers correlate to infiltration then slope decreases effective infiltration by around 300%
It conceptually & nicely increases surface storage (table 3) based on slope and residue cover which I think is missing in a lot of models.
