station located on slopes, identify gravity as the main morphogenic process responsible for slope shaping. The calanchi badland areas are characterised by constant and rapid shrinking of their edges resulting from landslides which occur in autumn
The aim of this geomorphologic study was to analyse the recent morphologic evolution of calanchi badlands over a 50 years' period (1955-2006) and to evaluate the mean erosion rate in areas situated in Southern Tuscany. These areas are characterised
