Scree processes at gullies' slopes in the Western Tien-Shan low mountains

Abstract

The mechanism and rate are considered of the process of loess fragments fall on the gullies' slopes in the Western Tien-Shan low mountains. Seasonal and diurnal cycles of the fall's rate changes are studied under natural conditions using stationary observations data, a correlation has been traced between the falling and erosional processes, the fall rate being established to depend on meteorological factors.
