On the mechanism of gulley's head formation in the humid zone
Abstract
Mechanisms of gullies head growth in the humid zone are various and complicated. Besides erosion mechanism there are suffusion, rival, landslide and karst ones. In the dry year the contribution of erosion mechanism is little and the suffusion type of development is predominant, especially in the sandy loam, loam and loess deposits. The examples of different mechanism manifestations in the Kaluga and Bryansk districts are given.
