Infiltration
Infiltration, the entry of water into soil, is an essential control point in the hydrologic cycle because it divides the surface runoff of precipitation from subsurface water, which promotes the growth of plants and recharges groundwater. Infiltration is a complex process, controlled by a large number of factors and widely influenced by human activities. Relative measurements of infiltration rates allow prediction of threshold rates, beyond which…
Hillslopes
Hillslopes are segments of the physical landscape at a spatial scale familiar to human experience – a person on foot can ascend a small hillslope within minutes. Hillslopes adjust, gradually or catastrophically, to the balance of forces acting on them, and their properties control the redistribution of water and sediment on terrestrial surfaces. To researchers, hillslopes are important as units of analysis of interactive processes involving hydro…
Effects of Land-Use Change on Water in Andean Páramo Grassland Soils
Mountain environments, including the Andean páramo grasslands of Ecuador, are important water source areas. They are often sites of programs and policies intended to achieve multiple management objectives, such as carbon sequestration, biological conservation, and water resource protection; yet such environments are often data poor. This creates challenges for programs that compensate landowners for protecting ecosystem services and uncertainty r…

Framing and Reframing Questions of Human–Environment Interactions
Ways in which geographers have framed research on human–environment interactions have changed over time. This review emphasizes the limitations of previous ways of framing human–environment research and indicates new opportunities to be pursued by reframing the research questions. It begins with the research and influence of W. M. Davis and follows with research framed as environmental determinism, human ecology, natural hazards, human impacts on…

Hillslope Runoff and Soil Erosion Following Reforestation in the Copper Basin, Tennessee, USA
The landscape of the 130 km 2 Copper Basin, in the southeastern USA, became extremely degraded during more than a century of logging, mining, acidification, grazing, and fire. In the twentieth century, the Copper Basin became the focus of a series of reforestation programs and is now largely tree‐covered again. To investigate the effects of over 50 years of reforestation efforts, we developed a space‐for‐time substitution and conducted rainfall s…
Soil Erosion and Sustainable Mountain Development
Accelerated soil erosion is a common and environmentally destructive consequence of development, especially in mountain regions. Soil erosion is of special concern in agricultural lands, but agriculture is only one of many development activities that greatly accelerates soil erosion processes. Road building, trail use, excavation, extractive activities, and construction also can cause severe soil erosion. Soil conservation technologies are relati…
Years of Environmental Degradation and Reclamation in the Copper Basin, Tennessee
The Copper Basin, Tennessee, is unique in the southeastern United States for the extent and persistence of its treeless landscape. Reclamation has been slow and costly, but the basin has finally lost the appearance of a desert and is now green again. Reviewing the environmental history of the Copper Basin since 1847, we find a treeless landscape to have resulted and persisted due to a set of interrelated human activities that included grazing, bu…
