Abstract

The present study investigates widespread valleyside colluvial deposits and their relationships with their envirommental settings in part of the Murcia province in SE Spain. These deposits are expressions of continuing soil loss which has taken place under present day environmental conditions. Such geomorphological responses are thought to vary in relation to slope character and its associated environmental factors which are known to influence the potential force of soil erosion processes.
