Explanations for distinct adjacent ecosystems that extend across hilly landscapes typically point to differences in climate or land use. Here we document—within a similar climate …
Nitrogen (N) limits the productivity of many ecosystems worldwide, thereby restricting the ability of terrestrial ecosystems to offset the effects of rising atmospheric CO2 emissions …
Precipitation drives seasonal velocity changes in slow-moving landslides by increasing pore- water pressure and reducing the effective normal stress along basal shear zones. This …
Establishing landscape response to uplift is critical for interpreting sediment fluxes, hazard potential, and topographic evolution. We assess how landslides shape terrain in response to …

The purpose of this article is to provide an ultimate tectonic explanation for several well‐ studied zoogeographic boundaries along the west coast of N orth A merica, specifically …
In mountainous landscapes with weak, fine-grained rocks, earthflows can dominate erosion and landscape evolution by supplying sediment to channels and controlling hillslope …
The Chile Triple Junction (CTJ) episodically migrated northward during the past 14 Ma from 54° S to its present‐day position at 46° 30′ S, as different almost trench‐parallel spreading …
