Hot and humid subtropical plateau regions are susceptible to land degradation in the form of
weathering and gully erosion. Here, we investigate chemical weathering, gully erosion and …

The present study has attempted to address the issue of sensitivity of different clusters of
factors towards gully erosion in the Mayurakshi river basin. Firstly, the gully erosion …

Severe rainfall causes soil to erode, which has far-reaching effects on the natural
environment and anthropogenic activity. It is regulated by the interplay of “lithology …

This study investigates the uncommon formation of laterite from garnet–sillimanite–gneiss
(grt-sil-gn) in the Matale area, a hilly region of Sri Lanka. Geographically, laterites typically …

Lateritic gravels are extensively used in road construction and other civil engineering
structures. Depending on various parameters, genetic characteristics vary from one locality …

Ferricrete deposits are one of the most important geomorphological and geological features
of eastern India. Different archaeological sites of eastern India have shown that the …

The landforms of badlands, mainly gullies, record accelerated water erosion into variable
regolith or soft sediments or colluviums by integrated processes of overland flow, mass …

Badlands are zones marked by sustained soil loss via gully erosion. Extensive badland
tracts and gully channels appear as a dissected land surface, with a large number of rills …

Soil formation, a dynamic process driven by a multitude of factors, is essential for ecosystem
sustainability and agricultural productivity. This paper delves into the intricate mechanisms …

Bioleaching of laterites refers to the process of using microbes for the extraction of valuable
metal ions from laterite ores. Laterite soil is rich in oxides of iron and aluminum, as well as …
