The main causes of gully formation are anthropogenic: the clearing of native forests, tilling of fallow lands and associated change of the hydrological conditions in the rainfall-runoff system. Gully formation is very intensive during the period of initiation, when morphological characteristics (length, depth, width, area, and volume) are far from stable. About 80 per cent of a gully’s length, 60 per cent of its area and 35 per cent of its volume are formed in only 5 per cent of its lifetime. This stage of development can be described by a dynamic model to predict rapid changes of gully morphology.
