Abstract

The southern part of Eastern Siberia is characterized in general by weak gully dissection, and by very uneven distribution of gullies on the territory. 122.5 thousand gullies with total length of 35.5 thousand km exist in the study area. The mean density of erosion forms is 0.0563/km, and the drainage density is 0.016 km/km. It is obtained that gullies tend to occur on the slopes of river valleys of order 3-4 or higher and have mostly an anthropogenic origin. Slope erosion forms are dominant, while bottom forms account for 1/3 of their total number. Six types of territory have been identified according to the drainage density and gully density, which are shown on the map compiled.
