Description :
The aim of this study is to identify the dynamic and to present the main factors intrinsic to the soil cover that govern natural erosion on a forest area with a widespread red and black soil system in South India, by using a structural and a spatially distributed approach. Results indicate that both topography and lithology (gneiss and amphibolite) have influenced the distribution of the soils. Three distinctive types of erosional landforms have been identified.
