This paper reports the results of a three-year study of landsliding (1991,1992 and 1993) in 4 subcatchments of the Likhu Khola basin, Middle Hills, Nepal. The largest failures occurred in the drier south-facing catchments, the vast majority being
Resistance to shallow landslide failure through root-derived cohesion in east coast hill country soils, North Island, New Zealand
This paper describes the strength behaviour of regolith in the catchment of Lake Waikopiro in northern Hawke's Bay, an area that is representative of the erosion-prone hill country on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is proposed

Les ichnofossiles (terriers) et les fossiles d'une forme disparue de chien de prairie, Cynomys niobrarius churcherii, dans les Hand Hills du sud de l'Alberta, ont fourni un important marqueur stratigraphique pour le Pléistocène tardif. Ces terriers
Socioeconomic factors and agro-forestry improvments in the hills of Nepal
AA. argue for a broader definition of agroforestry. In the Nepalese hillsides it involves trees, crops, and livestock ; in other words, the entire farming system in which hill farmers are engaged. Poverty reducing goals of agroforestry have to take
Productivity and economic benefits of integrated nutrient management in three major cropping systems in the Mid-Hills of Nepal
rotations in the mid-hills region of Nepal - rice-wheat on irrigated khet land, millet-maize on rain-fed bari land, and upland rice-blackgram on ancient river terraces known as tar land. Using a partial cost-benefit analysis, authors find that applications
During pluvial periods of the late Quaternary, Death Valley was occupied by a lake, called Lake Manly. The most prominent shoreline of this lake is that of the Blackwelder stand, 90 m above sea level. The Mesquite Spring and Salt Spring Hills

Hill sur le site de l'ancienne route A33 près de Twyford Down dans le sud. Les premières tentatives de ce genre ont eu lieu aux Etats-Unis dans les années 30 et n'ont été appliquées en Europe que dans les années 80 et 90. - (M. Perrin).
This paper focuses on how population growth and the process of continued migration from the Hill Region and settlement in the Terai Region of Nepal result in considerable changes in land use and fragmentation of land-holdings. It is argued
in Nepal should extend its strong focus from the Hill Region to include the increasing social and environmental changes of the Terai Region.
In the vicinity of Chrostkowo on the Dobrzyń morainic upland are raising the magnificent hills, that from years awoke the interest of geomorphologists. They assemble with two zones : inner one and outer one. For long time, they are considered as end
This paper aims to identify the spatial distribution of exchangeable base cations in soils on an acid hillslope, (Quantock Hills, Somerset, UK), and to investigate possible cation release processes from slope soils to the stream. The basic
is controversial, and this paper explores perceptions of ordinary hill people on regionalism and the political and developmental issues facing the proposed new state. - (SLD)
The landsurface condition of a small catchment in the east coast hill country of New Zealand's North Island has been mapped over a 23 year period. On this basis, the distribution of susceptibility to landsliding has been modelled, and shown
Models for the time between sowing and reproductive maturity are used to examine the suitability of six legume cover crops for farming systems in the mid-hills region of Nepal. There was substantial variability in maturity dates resulting from
There is little arable land in the hills and mountains of the Himalayan region, where small, marginal farmers try to eke out a living. A new thinking advocates research in niche based sustainable production systems on marginal lands as part
, the Indian Himalaya, the Nepali Himalaya, and the northern Thailand hills. He calls for greater understanding and awareness on the part of those who try to assist poverty-driven but resourceful hillside farmers. - (SLD)
