Process identification of soil erosion in steep mountain regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Mountainous soil erosion processes were investigated in the Urseren Valley (Central Switzerland) by means of measurements and simulations. The quantification of soil erosion was performed on hill slope scale (2 center dot 20 m) for three different land ...
