The soil creep on slopes in different altitudinal and ecological zones of Sudetes Mountains

Auteur :
JAHN, A.

Description :
Studies of soil movement have been carried out in the Sudetes Mts. for nearly 30 years, mainly by means of wooden pegs (columns). Three hypsometric-climatic zones were distinguished : low meadows, up to a height of 800 m, old forest at 800-1 200 m and high meadows, above 1 200 m. Human activities (soil and meadow cultivation, tourism, winter sports) have a great direct and indirect impact on soil movement accelerating it threefold in the low meadows and twofold in the high meadows.
