- Description
- Wetlands occupy broad, gently sloping valleys characterised by net deposition. Consequently, gully incision is viewed as an agent of wetland destruction. However, little attention has been given to the role of gullies in natural wetland formation. This paper determines if gully cutting and filling cycles have led to wetland formation in both an extant eroding wetland and a semi‐arid environment that once supported wetlands. At both sites, the valley fill was investigated to identify infilled gullies, and a 14C date was obtained from the gully fill.
