Abstract
This project studies the interactions between soil, vegetation and landscape. On the long 50-ka timescale, we studied these interactions in Okhombe valley, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. We obtained insights in vegetation, erosion and sedimentation history of the area and tested these insights with landscape evolution model LAPSUS. On the shorter decennia timescale, we plan to study the same interactions, using the same model parametrization, on a larger study area: the Drakensberg Foothills.
