Elementary Study on Gully Classification on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] Traditional gully classification systems focus on agricultural landscapes. However, on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, where human activity is limited, gullies primarily occur in natural landscapes.

Room to regenerate: microhabitats and the recruitment niche as drivers of mountain woodland restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...

Downcurrent variation in submarine channel‐fill architecture from the shelf to upper slope

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition between the shelf and the upper slope is often considered an area of sediment bypass, where steeper gradients increase flow velocities and maintain particles in suspension. In addition to transferring sediments into deeper basins, upper‐slope areas can also host channelised submarine deposits.

Tree Species Vulnerability to Fire Increases at Dry Range Edge

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
Following severe drought and fire, some tree species experience increased tree mortality, topkill (death of above‐ground biomass) and lower rates of seedling recruitment at the dry edge of their ranges, while other species maintain resilience, exhibiting low rates of mortality and topkill and high rates of recruitment across their ranges.

Spatiotemporal analysis of gullies and environmental controlling factors in the municipality of Alegre (state of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil)

Geologia USP. Série Científica, 2022
Water erosion of soil slopes causes several environmental, economic, and social losses worldwide every year, particularly, when it reaches more advanced stages, leading to the formation of gullies.

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Fine-Scale Geomorphologic Classification of Guyots in Representative Areas of the Western Pacific Ocean

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Guyots are a special type of seamount with a flat top and are widely distributed in the global ocean. In this paper, a geomorphologic classification method for guyots based on multibeam bathymetry data is proposed. By studying typical guyots, namely, the
