The Influences of Climatic and Lithological Factors on Weathering of Sediments in Humid Badland Areas
Published in Frontiers in Earth Science
Climate variables including temperature, rainfall intensity, rainfall acidity, and lithological properties are among the most important factors affecting rock weathering. However, the relative contribution of these four factors on rock weathering, especially on chemical weathering, is still unclear. In this study, we carried out a series of weather...
Modalités et rythmes d’évolution des falaises des Vaches Noires (Normandie, France) : caractérisation et quantification ...
Parmi les côtes rocheuses sédimentaires à recul rapide du littoral normand, les falaises des Vaches Noires constituent un secteur original à la morphologie de badlands, affecté par des processus hydrogravitaires de diverses natures (coulées de boue, glissements de terrain, chutes de blocs calcaires et crayeux, ravinement, …) emboités dans le temps ...
Event-based run-off and sediment yield dynamics and controls in the subhumid headwaters of the Blue Nile, Ethiopia
Land degradation due to soil erosion presents a major challenge for sustainable development. We investigated run-off and sediment yield (SY) dynamics in the northwestern highlands of Ethiopia. The study area included 14 zero-order catchments with a surface area ranging from 324 to 1715 m2. V-notch weirs produced from plastic jars were introduced as...

Temperature Controls on the Erosion of Badland Slopes in the Nanxiong Basin, China
Published in Frontiers in Earth Science
Understanding the relationships between environmental variables and erosion rates in badlands is vital for forecasting sediment yields. While the controlling role of rainfall on badland erosion rates has long been recognized, here we assess the relative influences of temperature and precipitation on slope erosion rates in the Nanxiong Basin, Southe...
Impact of vegetation on erosion: Insights from the calibration and test of a landscape evolution model in alpine badland...
While it is well recognized that vegetation can affect erosion, sediment yield and, over longer timescales, landform evolution, the nature of this interaction and how it should be modeled is not obvious and may depend on the study site. In order to develop quantitative insight into the magnitude and nature of the influence of vegetation on catchmen...
Badland Erosion and Its Morphometric Features in the Tropical Monsoon Area
Climatically driven processes are important controls on the Earth’s surface and on interactions between the hydrological cycle and erosion in drainage basins. As a result, landscape forms such as hillslope topography can be used as an archive to reconstruct historical climatic conditions. Recent progress in the Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogram...
Efectos y valor de la restauración hidrológico-forestal de los escarpes de páramo en la cuenca media del río Carrión (Pa...
Desde el siglo XV hasta principios del XX las badlands formadas por los habitantes de Saldaña y alrededores, en los escarpes del páramo palentino, que vierten sobre el río Carrión, eran fuente de graves arrastres, lodos y sedimentos, que comprometían el abastecimiento hídrico, el riego, el uso de los terrenos ribereños, de infraestructuras (carrete...
