Geological and climatic influences on mountain biodiversity
Mountains are key features of the Earth's surface and host a substantial proportion of the
world's species. However, the links between the evolution and distribution of biodiversity …

An integral approach to bedrock river profile analysis
Bedrock river profiles are often interpreted with the aid of slope–area analysis, but noisy
topographic data make such interpretations challenging. We present an alternative …

Climate controls on erosion in tectonically active landscapes
The ongoing debate about the nature of coupling between climate and tectonics in mountain
ranges derives, in part, from an imperfect understanding of how topography, climate …

The stream power river incision model: Evidence, theory and beyond
D Lague - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The stream power incision model (SPIM) is a cornerstone of quantitative geomorphology. It
states that river incision rate is the product of drainage area and channel slope raised to the …

Causes and consequences of habitat fragmentation in river networks
Increases in river fragmentation globally threaten freshwater biodiversity. Rivers are
fragmented by many agents, both natural and anthropogenic. We review the distribution and …

Beyond threshold hillslopes: Channel adjustment to base-level fall in tectonically active mountain ranges
Numerous empirical and model-based studies argue that, in general, hillslopes and river
channels increase their gradients to accommodate high rates of base-level fall. To date …
