Geomorphic and Hydrological Effects of Traditional Shifting Agriculture in a Mediterranean Mountain Area, Central Spanish Pyrenees

From Plot to Regional Scales: Interactions of Slope and 1 Catchment Hydrological and Geomorphic Processes in the 2 Spanish Pyrenees

19 The hydrological and geomorphic effects of land use/land cover changes, 20 particularly those associated with vegetation regrowth after farmland abandonment were 21 investigated in the Central Spanish Pyrenees. The main focus was to assess the 22 interactions among slope, catchment, basin, and fluvial channel processes over a range 23 of spatial scales. In recent centuries most Mediterranean...

Recent Variations of Snowpack Depth in the Central Spanish Pyrenees

The evolution of snow depth in the central Spanish Pyrenees was analyzed using measurements from 106 snow stakes over a period of 14 yr (1985–1999). Relationships were considered between the regional series of snow depths at the end of winter and in the middle of spring with respect to precipitation and temperature in previous months. Both variables explained a large percentage of the interannu...

Stratified Scree in the Central Spanish Pyrenees: Paleoenvironmental Implications

The Importance of Seasonally Frozen Ground (SFG) in Mountain Environments To Hydrological, Ecological, and Geomorphic Systems

OVERVIEW There has been little research on the importance of Seasonally Frozen Ground (SFG), including permafrost, to many of the major processes in mountain environments. One reason has been the difficulty in measuring and estimating the areal extent of surface frost that occurs under seasonal snowpacks. Here we present preliminary evidence from the Colorado Front Range suggesting that SFG has...

role of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus

cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...
