Vegetation was not a subject of research in early papers, which contrasts with the present situation when about 40% of papers published in international journals about badlands address some aspect of vegetation. However, the growth in the attention
paid to vegetation and erosion rates was not linked to any increase in papers dealing with badland reclamation. Badlands are now seen as a group of systems with some common features but diverse dynamics, depending mainly on climatic and lithological

The aim of this paper is to explore the direction and rate of change in land use of the biancana badland landscapes over the last 50 years, evaluating the erosion-vegetation dynamics and examining the processes involved in 2 biancana badlands
was applied on selected plots of a plant dataset to distinguish vegetation types and identify the indicator species of each different type. They then evaluated soil erodibility on the eroded biancana surfaces, regosols and well-developed vertisols. The AA. aim
This paper provides a fundamental review of the dendrogeomorphological methodology applied to erosion measurement in badlands. Focusing on the response of the vegetation to the geomorphic processes, this paper : (a) describes the methodology
