HYDROLOGIC BEHAVIOUR, MICROMORFOLOGIC CHANGES AND SOIL EROSION STUDY IN BADLAND AREAS, RAMBLA SALADA (MURCIA, SPAIN), WITH SIMULATED RAINFALL
Abstract
The badland areas are a landscape pattem developed at different degrees in the semiarid mediterranean areas. These landscapes are in relation with a favourable geologic, geomorphologic and bioclimatic context. However, they are also the response to the desequilibrium of fragile environments with a poor human management. The aim of this paper is to show, using a nozzle rainfall simulator, the relationships between rainfall-runoff, infiltration and micromorphologic changes in a badland area on the semiarid South-East Spain.Downloads
