Abstract:The expansion of glacier‐free forelands after glacier retreat is emerging as a typical climate change‐dependent feature that is widely studied for assessing biogeomorphic feedbacks and analysing the vertical processes and changes occurring in the critical zone (CZ). However, the horizontal processes occurring in the CZ environment are still poorly understood. Here, we comprehensively analyse the development of the CZ environment over time in the Forni Glacier forefield, Italian Alps, since the end of the Littl… Show more
