Debris avalanching in the southern Appalachians: an influence on forest soil formation

Abstract
In early November 1977, a storm system triggered debris avalanching in steep terrain of the Pisgah National Forest. Soil material displaced by the mass wasting was in the order of 2 to 3 x 10 3 m 2 along avalanche tracks, which exceeded 1 km in length. Peak stormflows had recurrence intervals ranging from 20 to over 100 yr. Although debris avalanching in the Appalachian Mountains is a rare phenomenon in human history (100-1000+ yr return period), it is a major and frequent geomorphic process influencing soil formation. -from Authors
