This article describes the role of shortlived downpours when it comes to the shaping of slopes and valley bottoms in the Gorce Mountains, as exemplified by the Jaszcze and the Jamne catchments and the falls of rain that took place in 1997 and 2008
. The results of the flood from the first ten-day period of July 1997 were specified on the basis of air photos analysis. In turn, in July 2008 it was possible to make direct observations of falls of rain and its results, this being shown to be the cause
Combining a modified universal soil loss equation with a digital terrain model for computing high resolution maps of soil loss resulting from rain wash
The different species of rain-forest plants developing starchy tubers were studied around Makokou (N. E. Gabon) and in the Lobaye River district (S. W. Central African Republic). A detailed description of the tuberous parts is given, particularly
in wild yams to help to elucidate the taxonomic status of a number of species. The different underground storage structures are considered as adaptive to the rain-forest environment. An estimate of the underground tuber biomass has been made. The benefits
