Quantitative assessment of the gullies' growth
Abstract
Most typical feature of the gullies' development is that rates of their growth (both in terms of length and volume) vary widely in time and in different natural regions. Expressions are suggested which permit to calculate a deceleration in length and volume growth as the gully development goes on, as well as to estimate the percentage of the gully development (length and volume) in a given time interval, The quantitative parameters of gully erosion rate may be used to assess a territory with a view to its economic development.
