Description :
Studies carried out in two experimental sites on recently incised Holocene valley-fill sediments, and on a slope of exposed Tertiary clay indicate that erosion processes and rates are strongly related to the chemical characteristics and physico-chemical behaviour of alkaline soils. For the total period of measurement, similar erosion rates in rill and interrill areas indicate a short term equilibrium between the main components of the badlland system.
