Response of eolian geomorphic systems to minor climate change : examples from the southern Californian deserts
Special Issue. Geomorphic responses to short-term climatic change
The response of eolian geomorphic systems to minor climate change can be examined through process-response models based on a combination of relations between short-term changes in climatic variables and eolian activity and the geologic
and soil moisture in periods of drier climates. The major control on these processes is decadal to annual changes in rainfal that determine vegetation cover and soil moisture content.
