Description | The Bosonožský Hájek area is a unique example of intensive gullying of Pleistocene loess deposits; locally the incision reached even the underlying granitoid bedrock. Four main gully networks are developed. Geometry and topology of gully networks is primarily governed by slope morphology. Gullies are mostly inactive and covered by old-growth forest. Absolute dating of the main phase of gully incision is still opened and debated question. |
