Morphological and sedimentological responses of small stream channels to extreme rainfall and land use in the Darjeeling Himalayas
2020
Abstract Three pairs of small, fourth- to sixth-order catchments (approximately 5–80 km2), draining the margin of the Darjeeling Himalayas into the piedmont, were selected for a comparison of the land-use impact on the morphology and sedimentology of their stream channels. Each pair experienced similar annual rainfall and comprised similar metamorphic bedrock, steep topography, and brown soils; the members of each pair contrast with respect to their land-use structure as they comprise large forest cover (forest >90%) and a significant contribution of agricultural land with tea plantations (forest
