Types and character of geomorphic processes on a central-European low-altitude scree slope (NW Czechia) and their environmental interpretation

Original language description

The paper presents results of geomorphological research carried out on a low altitude scree slope in the České středohoří Middle Mts. The locality is represented by the rock cliff and accumulation of basaltic clasts, and is surrounded with the forest vegetation. Detailed geomorphological mapping, Schmidt-hammer tests and joint orientation analyses were applied to identify the relation of lithology and morphology. Dendro-geomorphological assessment was applied in analyzing landform-vegetation interactions. Geomorphic processes below the rock cliff and on the open scree were analysed using exposures, and the sedimentological assessment of sieve effect and of clast flows. Results show an important role of vegetation-controlled dynamics in contrast to theprevious emphasis ascribed to climate-controlled processes. Finally, the results are discussed in the context of local environmental change.
