ЕСТЕСТВЕННЫЕ И АНТРОПОГЕННЫЕ ФАКТОРЫ В РАЗВИТИИ ОВРАГОВ (НА ПРИМЕРЕ ОВРАГА УЗКИЙ, САТИНСКИЙ ПОЛИГОН МГУ)

Abstract

The paper provides an example of reconstructing a history of gully development using geomorphological survey, pollen analysis, radiocarbon dating, and grain size analysis. These data allowed authors to determine possible causes of gully formation and to reconstruct main stages of the Ouzky gully history. Relative contribution of natural and anthropogenic factors to gully formation processes and its long profile deformations has also been qualitatively assessed. This example shows two main phases of gully development, differing by system's response to climatic and landscape changes within the catchment, and their reflection in the geomorphic processes within a gully bottom.
