| Comments: | View of deep gully between areas 4 & 5 at Steep Slope Run-off Plots. A cow grazing on the fenced area, which includes the run-off areas and the space between, fell into this gully and later died. Gullies like these are result of accelerated erosion following exceptional summer rains when flows of mud and rock originating on deteriorated areas above move down the slope. |
