Abstract A total of 1500 spacing distances of sorted stripes were measured on 30 alpine sites in the Bolivian Andes with distinct slope angles, elevations and aspects. Additionally, the geometric evolution of stripes was systematically analysed along a slope with varying inclinations and morphology....
