Mid-Latitude Slope Deposits (Cover Beds), Second Edition delves into extensive deposits and explores their characteristics, origins, and age within the subdued mountains of Central Europe, where the majority of research on these matters has been conducted to date. The book addresses the ecological implications of these slope deposits on soils, slope water dynamics, and slope failures. Furthermore, it endeavors to transfer the cover-bed concept to other mid-latitude regions in an attempt to reconstruct the landscape evolution. This comprehensive compilation, spanning several decades of a facies-oriented approach to slope-deposit research, provides profound insights into the vast field of research on cover beds and serves as a valuable resource for students, academics, and researchers in geomorphology, quaternary sciences, pedology, hydrology, and sedimentology.
