Fig. 3: Comparison between index of agro-pastoral activities (brown shading) and the magnification effect of agro-pastoral activities on erosion rates (blue to red shading).
From: Human-triggered magnification of erosion rates in European Alps since the Bronze Age
Indexes were computed for three altitudinal ranges of the western European Alps. To facilitate the comparison, the chronicle of the effect of agro-pastoral activities on erosion is presented in the same form as the indexes (Fig. 2). A Period used to compute the excess in erosion; (B) Period of dominant influence from high-altitude areas; (C) Period of dominant influence from foothills/mid-altitudes areas. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
