Description :
Rock-fragment cover on hillslope surfaces profoundly influences the operation of hydrologic and geomorphic processes on those surfaces. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the spatial variability of rock-fragment cover on morphological units of hillslopes in southeastern Arizona. Simple statistical models, based upon hillslope gradient as well as a soil-slope factor were developed and validated for the estimation of percent rock-fragment covers on these units.
