urn:hdl:2445/174121 Present-Day Solifluction Processes in the Semi-arid Range of Sierra Nevada (Spain) Oliva Franganillo, Marc Gómez Ortiz, Antonio Salvador Franch, Ferran Salvà i Catarineu, Montse Termometria Sierra Nevada (Andalusia) Geomorfologia periglacial Temperature measurements Sierra Nevada (Andalusia) Periglacial processes In the highest land of the Sierra Nevada National Park, an experiment to monitor solifluction rates together with the thermal regime of the ground was implemented during the period 2005-2011. Data show evidence of the low activity of solifluction processes in the present-day periglacial belt of Sierra Nevada. Annual displacement rates were lower than 1 cm yr-1 both in northern and southern slopes. Solifluction was more active near snow patches and streams. Rates were also higher during snowier years. Soil temperatures showed seasonal frost occurrence, though the depth and duration of the frozen layer is strongly conditioned by the annual snow cover. Water availability appears to be a crucial factor for solifluction processes in this semiarid environment. 2021-02-22T10:39:43Z 2021-02-22T10:39:43Z 2016-01-16 2021-02-22T10:39:43Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1657/1938-4246-46.2.365 Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2016, vol. 46, num. 2, p. 365-370 https://doi.org/10.1657/1938-4246-46.2.365 (c) University of Colorado, 2016 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess University of Colorado Articles publicats en revistes (Geografia)
