Abstract

On the base of observed course of slope material delivery into valley floors in small mid-mountain catchments, the formation of relief under the impact of slope-channel coupling was discussed. The results of the studies presented in this thesis indicate that the transfer of slope material into valley floors and coupling between slope and fluvial sub-systems are common factors shaping the relief of mid-altitude mountains. The delivery of slope material influences the relief both in valley heads in the middle zones of catchments and on outlet fans. The widespread occurrence of coupling between slopes and channels on the small catchments studied and its significant role in development of relief within particular zones of catchments suggest that coupling can be a factor important in the evolution of the relief of whole catchments, and through these whole mountain ranges. Therefore in the chapter, I have attempted to prepare a schema of evolution of mid-mountain relief due to the interaction of slopes and stream channels in small catchments. Detailed results of the thesis are discussed here as the premises of the schema. The schema itself is presented to describe the evolution of mid-mountain landscape through gradual transformation of valley heads into the middle zone and the middle zone into outlet fans. This was discussed taking into account the influence of geological setting, human impact, climate change and tectonic activity. Using the results obtained from the ten catchments analysed and data obtained from the literature review, a proposition was made that the established model may describe a general rule for the evolution of mid-mountain landscape.
