Basin Approach to the Study of Erosion Processes Occurring in the Territory of the Russian Plain.

摘要

ABSTRACT This paper deals with main types of operational-territorial units used in the spatial analysis of slope erosion development. The analysis of the entire system of operational-territorial units used in the study of slope erosion processes in the plains of the temperate zone of the Earth, shows that a drainage (river) basin is an operational and territorial unit most suitable for this purpose. This is because of the fact that the basins are a geosystemic formation and reflect the specific.
