The article deals with the terms scree, relief representation, topographic mapping and federal office of topography swisstopo (Switzerland). This paper introduces an automatic method for the symbolization of scree. First, design principles
as applied by the Swiss federal office of topography swisstopo are identified ; then digital method is described ; and finally scree painter, a specialized free and open-source software application is introduced. - (IfL)
, but on contrasting lithology and topography, so they are subject to distinct mineralogy and weathering regimes. By studying these soils, the AA. aimed to explore the extent to which soil phosphorus fractions and phosphorus availability vary with local-scale

and the nature of the topography being scanned. From this analysis it was possible to suggest what the optimal scanning conditions were for this particular experimental set-up. The procedures outlined for assessing errors in the precision of height measurements

The AA. investigate the topography-vegetation relationship in a Danish salt marsh, focusing upon 2 scales : a macro-scale (ca. 500 m) across the marsh platform, encompasing seaward and landward areas, and a meso-scale (ca. 25 m) across tidal creeks

north-south and species with larger ranges tend to be elongated east-west. This pattern is likely a result of species with small ranges being limited by local north-south-trending topography and species with large ranges being limited by major east-west

geomorphology plays a key role: (1) links between topography, tectonics, and atmospheric circulation; (2) links between geomorphic processes and biogeochemical cycles; and (3) links between biological processes and the Earth’s surface. In conclusion, key

, they extracted geometry, relief, and climate parameters to test whether Andean topography shows a climatic imprint and to analyze how climate influences relief. The AA. distinguish 2 different, climatically-controlled mechanisms shaping topography: (1) fluvial

, topography, vegetation cover and road infrastructure were explored. Secondly, site characteristics of 32 sub-catchments with and without gullies were compared. Finally, the topographic thresholds for unstable and stable sub-catchments with and without gullies
likely the result of interactions among topography, vegetation and human-made structures (roads) in space and time.

Among the many cases studied of mass-transport deposits in continental margins, the role of basin topography in controlling the types, distribution, architecture and emplacement of such deposits has not been properly remarked. In the western portion
of Northern Apennine foothills, mass-transport deposits form two composite Messinian mass-wasting bodies that reveal progressive development strictly controlled by basin topography. Extensively analyzed through stratigraphic and structural studies, they form

, as verified by crust mapping, coincided with the daylight surface duration, which in turn was controlled by topography. It implies that whereas initial physical conditions dictates species composition and thus crust type, the crust type in turn is responsible
