This book provides a holistic guide to the construction of numerical models to explain the co-evolution of landforms, soil, vegetation and tectonics, and describes how the geomorphology observable today has been formed. It explains the science of the physical processes and the mechanics of how to solve them, providing a useful resource for graduates studying geomorphology and sedimentary and erosion processes. It also emphasizes the methods for assessing the relative importance of different factors at field sites, enabling researchers to select the appropriate processes to model. Integrating a discussion of the fundamental processes with mathematical formulations, it guides the reader in understanding which processes are important and why, and creates a framework through which to study the interaction of soils, vegetation and landforms over time. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Constructing a landscape evolution model -- basic concepts -- A brief hydrology and geomorphology primer -- Erosion and other water driven processes -- Soils : constructing a soilscape evolution model -- basic concepts -- Soils : soil depth -- Soils : physical weathering and soil particle fragmentation -- Soils : chemical weathering -- Soils : slow soil flow and creep -- Soils : colloids and soil organic carbon -- Soils : constructing a soilscape evolution model -- details and examples -- Tectonics and geology -- High slope gravity processes -- Vegetation and wildfire -- Constructing a landscape evolution model -- details -- Examples of landscape evolution modeling and final thoughts. 650 0 $a Soil structure. 650 0 $a Soil physics. 650 0 $a Soils. 650 0 $a Soil science. 650 0 $a Landscape changes. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180905045951.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11E8E722688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
