Exploring the sensitivity on a soil area-slope-grading relationship to changes in process parameters using a pedogenesis model

This paper generalises the physical dependence of the relationship between contributing area, local slope, and the surface soil grading using a pedogenesis model and allows an exploration of soilscape self-organisation. A parametric study was carried out using different parent materials, erosion, an...
