and vegetation dynamics. Special attention is paid to the amounts of energy available for the main geomorphic agents (rainfall, freezing, clay shrinking) as well as to the explication of the preferred occurence of badland surfaces in north facing aspects.
The study area is located in Vallcebre, in the Upper Llobregat basin, which represents a sub-Mediterranean edge of the Pyrenees. Vegetation is sparse and heterogeneous. The aim of this study was to obtain a detailed demography of the seed
