Loess Landform Inheritance: Modeling and Discovery
XV, 214 p. 127 illus., 83 illus. in color. online resource.
In geomorphology, landform inheritance refers to the inherited relationship of different landform morphologies in a certain area during the evolutionary process. This book studies loess landform inheritance based on national basic geographic data and GIS spatial analysis method. It reveals the Loess Plateau formation mechanism and broadens the understanding of spatial variation pattern of loess landform in the Loess Plateau.
Significance of loess landform inheritance -- General background of the study area and materials -- Conceptual model of loess landform inheritance -- Reconstruction of the loess underlying paleotopography for loess landform inheritance -- Investigation of loess landform inheritance by using quantitative indexes -- Spatial variations in loess landform inheritance -- Conclusions and perspectives.
