From: Gully evolution and geomorphic adjustments of badlands to reforestation
Location of the study area in a geographical (a) and in a geological context (b). (c) The crystalline basement occurs beneath alluvium in the valley bottom, and shows no evidence of re-adjustment due to changes in base level. (d) Aerial view of the studied gullies. (e) Exposed roots in the channel analyzed in this paper. (f) Example of recent (historic) geomorphic activity in the study area. The white line represents the level to which this medieval church was buried, due to continued issuance of sediments from an alluvial cone fed by gullies developed on silica sand slopes. Maps have been created using ArcGIS 10.1 (www.esri.com) and CorelDrawX7 (www.coreldraw.com).
