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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Birgit Terhorst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0444531181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780444531186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Birgit Terhorst","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587627200767,"sku":"9780444531186","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9ba20ee-2c6e-454a-80a7-ef705bf335d1.jpg?v=1780169372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mid-latitude-slope-deposits-cover-beds-birgit-terhorst-9780444531186","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
