Hillslope erosion and weathering rates in Earth's most rapidly uplifting mountains
… cycles and global climate. Landslide erosion and soil production are the principle denudation processes in high-relief terrain, but quantitative estimates of landslide erosion on spatial and temporal scales relevant to landscape evolution are lacking, and there have been no prior measurements of …

Fluvial processes, beaver activity, and climate in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem and rock type control on hillslope morphology and soil development in the Sandia Mountains, New Mexico
… 3 explores the role of rock type in hillslope soil formation and slope morphology in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico. Resistant rock types have a profound impact on slopes by increasing the amount of coarse colluvium that traps and preserves eolian material. Accretion of eolian material …

Environmental Controls Over the Distribution and Function of Antarctic Soil Microbial Communities
… community composition plays a vital role in soil biogeochemical cycling. Information that explains the biogeography of microorganisms is consequently necessary for predicting the timing and magnitude of important ecosystem services mediated by soil biota, such as decomposition and nutrient …

Andean sediment response to natural and anthropogenic changes at the catchment scale
… in glacier-fed mountainous catchments. Soil erosion, driven by both natural and anthropogenic activities, further exacerbates the challenge for resource security. Soil erosion is contributing to increased levels of sediment in river systems threatening crucial river functions, including …
