Description :
Andrle and Abrahams (1989) present the results of a rigourous test of self-similarity on profiles and transects obtained from talus slopes. The aim of their paper is to show that the self-similar fractal model (SSFM) is of limited usefulness in describing the roughness of talus slopes and presumably of other geomorphic features. But several issues raised by the AA. require further discussion.
