Aridic Soils and Geomorphic Processes

D.H. Yaalon, Jerusalem (Ed.)

The collection of papers ranges from introductory general reviews to a number of detailed, process oriented, regional and local studies, related to the distribution of aridic soils and duricrusts in landscapes of three continents.
Papers on modelling and laboratory studies of geomorphic processes significant in aridic landscapes and a study of landformvegetation relationship round up this publication.

Bodenerosion, holozäne und pleistozäne Bodenentwicklung
Soil Erosion, Holocene and Pleistocene Soil Development

H.-R. Bork, Braunschweig & W. Ricken, Tübingen

The Holocene pedogenesis and the Holocene soil erosion were studied in southern Lower Saxony (W. Germany). Special attention was given to a quantitative determination and analysis of soil erosion, that occured during the Middle Ages and modern times.

J. De Ploey, Leuven (Ed.)

This book may be an illustration of presentday efforts made by geomorphologists to promote soil erosion studies be refined methods and new conceptual approaches. The reader will find in this volume an important contribution to the knowledge of active soil erosion, especially in typical sites in the Mediterranean belt, where soil degradation is very acute. Another set of papers enlightens the important role of laboratory research in the fundamental parametric investigation of processes, i.e. erosion by rain.

A.P. Schick, Jerusalem (Ed.)

The basic tool of geomorphological interpretation - the magnitude, frequency and mechanism of sediment and water conveyance - is a prime focus of interest. Increasingly important in this context in recent years is the role of human interference in natural fluviomorphic process systems.

P.D. Jungerius, Amsterdam (Ed.)

In spite of the fact that landforms as well as soils are largely formed by the same environmental factors, geomorphology and pedology have different roots and have developed along different lines. Papers which truly emanate the two lines of thinking are therefore relatively rare.

F. Ahnert, Aachen (Ed.)

Empirical geomorphology provides the observational evidence from which theoretical considerations may be developed. Theoretical geomorphology, on the other hand, combines the available empirical knowledge with the application of general physical principles to arrive, by a process of generalization and abstraction, at the formulation of theories which in turn can suggest goals for further empirical studies.

The relationships between the composition of the soil, the soil fabric, the water content, and the load-bearing capacity have been described mathematically. Practical experience has demonstrated the validity of the formulation of these relationships.

Vol. I: Hillslope Processes

A.C. Imeson, Amsterdam & M. Sala, Barcelona (Eds)

Geomorphological systems in such environments are highly complex and difficult to study due to seasonally extreme conditions. The papers reflect the need to increase our understanding of the basic processes important in this regions; of the effects of seasonality on interactions between abiotic processes; and on relationships between climatic parameters and processes.

F. Ahnert, Aachen (Ed.)

Few publications exist in English on the land- forms in the Federal Republic of Germany. It is hoped that this book, which is published in connection with the Second International Conference in Geomorphology (Frankfurt am Main, 1989) fills, to some extent, the gap.

Soil Erosion
Experiments and Models

R.B. Bryan, Toronto (Ed.)

Most of the papers focus on either empirical observations or modelling of soil erosion processes, several papers address the problem of assessment of long-term erosion rates and the development of appropriate study methodologies. It will be important to link the improved data available to much more detailed studies of short-term temporal and spatial changes in surface soil conditions, and of selective transport and depositional processes.

The diversity of dune landscapes is astonishing. There is probably no other type of landscape in the world which in its two main elements, land form and land cover, shows so much variation over such short distances. The spectacular variety of form elements is above all a consequence of the combination of wind and sand, with the former representing a process capable of acting independent of gravity, and the latter constituting a substrate which deforms easily.

Loess materials affect some environmental and climatological factors in the atmosphere and are also of immense value to mankind after accumulation on land surface where they provide the basis of productive agriculture in many continents. Loess areas are, however, also very sensitive to soil erosion and slope failure, e.g. by mudflows and landslides.

The boundary between soil and atmopshere is an important and active place. It controls to a large extent the flux of nutrients, water, gasses and heat to and from the underlying soil. So it has a direct and dramatic influence on the conditions of the soil below the interface, the microbes, animals and plants that live in the soil, and the amount of surface runoff generated from excess rainfall.

CATENA PAPERBACKS

J. Richter, Hannover

This book is primarily oriented on methodology. Starting with the phenomena of the different components of the soils, it describes their physical parameter functions and the mathe- matical models for transport and transformation processes in the soil. To treat the processes operationally, simple simulation models for practical applications are included in each chapter.

"Morphogenesis and ecology!" should replace the predominant "morphogenesis or ecology?". For this to happen, processes must be placed at the centre of research, not only the presentday observable and measur-able processes but also past processes and their environmental conditions which can be reconstructed from an investigation of the substrate.

Textbooks in common throughout the world are usually northern hemisphere publications and these fail to treat adequately certain hydrologic characteristics of significance elsewhere, particularly variability. This book is a study in comparative hydrology; the first to be made at a global scale using time sequences of data for individual catchments.
