Trees on steep slopes often prevent landslides by binding the soil with the roots, anchoring it to the bedrock and reducing the amount of water it contains.
Glaciation in high mountains reduces local bedrock to sand-sized particles, and additional reduction of rock to sand sizes takes place through colluvial and fluvial processes quickly in terrains of steep relief.
Understanding the work that went into negotiating them in the first place — and indeed, the important role that the increasingly weak Western alliance played — might well make those Trump supporters suffering from collective amnesia just slightly less cavalier about dismantling the bedrock treaties that reduced Cold War tension.
With significant changes to the infiltration module (introducing macropore flow and reduced bedrock percolation), more than 90% of interflow was generated close to the soil bedrock interface and the contribution of groundwater flow to total runoff was reduced to small amounts, consistent with hydrological process understanding in this terrain.
Echoing Richard Sennett, he argues that suburban living isolates people and reduces levels of trust, "the bedrock on which cities grow and thrive".
At the foot of the slope, the bedrock is highly weathered (see Fig. 10), which reduces the strength and stability of the rock mass.
The bedrock libertarian view that government intervention in the economy slows growth and reduces overall economic productivity is woven into the DNA of current economic orthodoxy, even "environmental economics".
As they spoke, workers outside their shimmering headquarters in the Shinagawa district were completing work on the foundation of a companion tower in a pit that reached bedrock, deep underground, to reduce the danger of soil liquefaction.
Unless the constants of the language have themselves an independently given mathematical meaning, at no point in this process do we reach semantic bedrock: we are just reducing one syntactic object to another, and this does not yield a normative semantics.
Using this long-term transport rate reduces our inferred headwall retreat and suggests that the up-glacial bedrock slopes are eroding at roughly the same rate.
