Slope deposits are common in any inclined relief. So-called
cover beds may veil entire landscapes, in which case they are
commonly overlooked or confused with soil horizons. This book
focuses on these widespread deposits and discusses their
properties, genesis, and age mainly in subdued mountains of Central
Europe, where to date most research on the matter has been
conducted. The ecological consequences of such slope deposits on
soils, slope water dynamics, and slope failures are addressed.
Finally, transfer of the cover-bed concept to other mid-latitude
regions is attempted for the reconstruction of landscape
evolution.
This unique compilation, covering several decades of a
facies-oriented approach to slope-deposit research, delivers deep
insight into the wide field of research on cover beds and
encourages researchers all over the world to take an in-depth look
at the critical zone as to its possible stratified nature.
