LEE VS. STOSS: THE ROLE OF AEOLIAN PROCESSES IN GULLY EROSION

The article summarizes the data on potentially dangerous exogenous processes characteristic of the Russian Far East south. General trends in the development of exogenous processes here are determined by the geological and geomorphological structure and specificity of the monsoon climate. Mountain structures in this area are currently in a stage of uplift, where, in general, denudation processes prevail over accumulation, lowland areas experience a general immersion and intensively accumulate sedimentary material. The monsoon nature of climate determines a pronounced seasonality in precipitation and, as a consequence, an increased intensity of a number of exogenous processes (waterlogging, waterlogging, river erosion). The paper presents the characteristics and extent of the environmental impact of such phenomena as: waterlogging, weathering, river and gully erosion, thermokarst, aeolian processes, and ice. Based on field observations, an assessment of the intensity and direction of the processes of erosion, accumulation and denudation is given.

The Creation

Abstract The vicinity of Kazimierz Dolny is characterised by the occurrence of large denivelations and thick loess covers. Due to that, as well as to the characteristic properties of loess and frequent occurrences of torrential rains, the region is marked by numerous dissections by valleys. Not without importance is agriculture, whose intensification brought about the creation of new relief forms. Gully erosion is a serious threat for the inhabitants of the region; on the other hand, it is impossible to eliminate it. For that reason it is necessary to use modern anti-erosion measures.

Material Migration

We revealed regional features of functioning of a large Transbaikalian aeolian morphodynamic system. Natural pre-conditions, current realities and factors of development of aeolian processes are investigated. The paper considers regularities of spatial distribution of deflation, transit, and aeolian accumulation zones. Main directions of aeolian migration of matter are determined. Pulsating nature of aeolian processes development in Holocene has been established. Identified are intrasecular cycles and Holocene dynamics of aeolian processes. We identified intrasecular (11, 27–35 years old), secular (80 year old) and Holocene (500, 2000 year old) cycles of aeolian process dynamics. The paper shows the influence of anthropogenic activity on the activation of aeolian migration of material for the historical period. It presents an overview of extreme aeolian events. Regionalization of Transbaikalia was carried out according to the degree of probable desertification of the territory due to development of aeolian processes. Areas of catastrophic manifestation of processes are highlighted. The results of long-term experimental observations of deflation and aeolian accumulation are presented. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the aeolian corridors. The important role of aeolian processes in the intensive material transport from Transbaikalia to the south and southeast to neighboring regions of Mongolia and China is shown.

The Stability

Abstract The risk assessment of the dangerous geomorphological processes development in the Dauria steppes in conditions of pronounced cyclical fluctuations in climate and high dynamism of geomorphological systems is carried out on a five-point scale. The analysis of the spatial and temporal structure of fluvial and aeolian processes for the purposes of nature management is fulfilled. The role of extreme geomorphological events is shown, which are a serious limiting factor of conflict-free nature management in the Daurian region. The revealed catastrophic manifestations of fluvial and aeolian processes require careful planning of economic activities and serious environmental protection measures. The result of the assessment is the zoning of the Dauria territory according to the degree of geomorphological risk. The types of economic activities that do not violate the stability of the regime of geomorphological systems, and, on the other hand, are undesirable, increasing the risk of critical natural situations, are indicated.
