Abstract:
Abstract. Alpine and mountain slopes represent important pathways that link high-altitude grazing areas to meadows and rangelands at lower elevations. Given the often acute gradients associated with such environments, they potentially represent highly efficient runoff conveyance routes that facilitate the downslope movement of runoff and associated material during erosion events. Many such slopes host series of small steps, or "terracettes". The juxtaposition of terracettes against the natural downslope flow path of non-complex slopes leads us to hypothesise that they may influence typical hil

Abstract:
Small, irregular terraces on hillslopes, or terracettes, are common landscape features throughout west central China. Despite their prevalence, there is limited understanding of the nature of these topographic features, the processes that form them, and the role humans played in their formation. We used an interdisciplinary approach to investigate the geology, ecology, and cultural history of terracette development within Jiuzhaigou National Park, Sichuan Province, China. Terracettes occur on south facing, 20° slopes at 2500 m elevation, which appears to coincide with places people historicall

AbstractThe relationships between vegetation patterns and periglacial features and their underlying ecology are still poorly understood and lack specific investigations in Antarctica. Here we present the results of vegetation colonization of different types of sorted patterned ground and gelifluction features (lobes and terracettes) at four sites in northern Victoria Land. This paper aims to understand the relationships between vegetation and the most widespread periglacial features in Victoria Land, discuss the role of periglacial features and vegetation in determining the ground surface temp

Abstract:
Many of the siliceous hot springs in Yellowstone National Park contain subaqueous, spinose siliceous precipitates up to 5 cm high that occupy shallow terracettes in siliceous terraced mound accumulations, discharge channels, etc. These siliceous "shrubs" are composed of opal-A with an arborescent or branching pattern and have strong morphological similarities to bacterial shrubs from carbonate-precipitating hot springs. Siliceous shrubs constitute a major precipitate style associated with discharge channel – flow-path facies throughout most of the 20 m of flow path at Cistern Spring, Norris Ge

Abstract:
AbstractThe structure and microbiology of active travertines is described from Canary and Minerva springs, with emphasis on ‘shrubs’ growing in terracette pools. These dendritic growths of aragonite consist of intricately branched sprays containing thousands of radiating needles. Shrub microstructure could be explained by the principle of ‘Keimauslese” and the preferential elongation of sharp protuberances in a rapidly depositing environment.The shrubs, and other active travertines, contain unicellular and filamentous bacteria. Estimates of total bacteria numbers ranged from 0.6−1.7 × 105 mm−3

A dissertação de mestrado desenvolvida tem como objetivo colaborar com a avaliação conceitual da forma erosiva terracete de pisoteio de gado, ainda pouco desenvolvida e, avaliar as perturbações do meio físico associadas ao pisoteio de gado. O objetivo da pesquisa torna-se relevante ao constatar que a temática desenvolvida é objeto de poucas produções acadêmicas. Além disso, no caso brasileiro, a grande área de terras utilizadas para a pastagem gera a necessidade de entendimento do funcionamento dessa paisagem antrópica para se produza formas corretas de manejo e possíveis restrições para o uso

Abstract:
Terracettes are a widely occurring form of micro-relief found throughout regions displaying various climatic and environmental conditions. Much speculation surrounds the processes responsible for their formation and development. An investigation of these micro-forms, their associated soil physical properties, sustaining mechanisms, and their relationship to slope stability was undertaken in Giant's Castle Game Reserve, KwaZulu - Natal Drakensberg, South Africa. The study showed that relationships between terracette morphology and soil physical properties within the Reserve are few, and that c

Abstract:
Terracettes and turf-banked terraces exist at Tiffindell Ski Resort in the Drakensberg of the Province of the Eastern Cape at altitudes between 2750 m and 2880 m on slopes of between 15°and 26°. Ice lenses and interstitial ice exist within turf-banked terraces in winter. During post-winter thaws, soil moisture reaches saturation in at least the upper part of the regolith in which turf-banked terraces occur. These terraces move downslope under the influence of gelifluction (which is essentially a combination of frost creep and solifluction). Terracettes appear to move as a result of frost creep
