The wied : a representative Mediterranean landform
Malta : at the crossroads of the Mediterranean
Climate ; Climatic geomorphology ; Drainage network ; Malta ; Mediterranean area ; Slope deposit ; Valley
With such a limited area and range of rock type, Malta cannot provide anything approaching a representative sample of the landforms which occur in the MediterraneanBasin. However, few geomorphological features can be considered unique
to the Mediterranean, since they are shared either by the more humid temperate climates to the north or the semi-arid regions to the south and east. The wied, a hybrid between the humid temperate and semi-arid climates, might be considered a truly Mediterranean
The chronology of human cultures in Europe and the MediterraneanBasin according to 14C dating
Archaeology ; C 14 dating ; Civilization ; Europe ; Mediterranean States ; Palaeogeography ; Postglacial ; Quaternary
14C ages related to human cultures, cultivated plants and native flora in Europe and in Mediterranean area allowed us to build a time succession for the evolution of the human cultures compared with cultivations and the diffusion of native flora

Analysis of the interrelations between soil landscapes and drainage basins in a mountain area of acid substrates. The climate is Mediterranean continental. The results obtained seem to demonstrate the existence of marked causal connections

L'A. compare le développement actuel du bassin pacifique à l'évolution historique du bassin méditerranéen. Les progrès technologiques dans le domaine des transports et de la communication rendent possibles l'intégration d'un bassin étendu comme le
Cal Parisa basin (eastern Spain), was selected as a representative of extensive areas on clayey bedrock formerly used for farming, nowadays almost abandoned, where badlands are of great importance as far as sediment production is concerned.
Soil erosion at three experimental sites in the Mediterranean
Agricultural land use ; Arid area ; Europe ; Greece ; Italy ; Mediterranean area ; Rill wash ; Sediment budget ; Slope ; Soil degradation ; Soil erosion ; Spain ; Vegetation
The basic objectives of this study are to interpret the runoff and sediment yield results derived from 3 field sites in the Mediterraneanbasin, (Italy, Greece, Spain), under comparable bioclimatic conditions. The conclusions from the erosion
studies carried out at each of the 3 sites can possibly be applied in finding solutions for soil erosion problems in the Mediterraneanbasin.

An inventory of last interglacial (sensu lato) age deposits from the MediterraneanBasin : a study of isoleucine epimerization and U-series dating in Dating Mediterranean shorelines.
The AA. compare soil development on 2 different types of surfaces in the Granada Basin : geomorphically stable surfaces with old soils also showing younger pedogenic overprinting (surface soils) and unstable surfaces with successive erosion
-deposition episodes, forming sequences of buried soils in which the successive pedogenic stages are spatially distinct. The aim is to reconstruct soil development over the Quaternary period in a Mediterranean climate.
Vegetation wildfires in the Mediterraneanbasin : evolution and trends

Rainfall drop size distribution in the Western Mediterraneanbasin, València, Spain
This paper evaluates direct measurements of the natural raindrops from a semiarid climatic zone, the Western Mediterraneanbasin, which is threatened by accelerated soil erosion processes and land degradation.
This paper analyses the hydrological processes of flood events in three Mediterranean ephemeral streams, taking into account the peculiarities of the rainfall and morphology patterns of the study area. Daily and other detailed information (every 5
