The study examines the formation and activity of four Holocene gullies in the Satino area of the Russian Plain, focusing on the period from 4,300 to 6,200 years ago. The gullies were formed during three distinct phases: 5,900-6,200 cal years BP, 5,200-5,500 cal years BP, and 4,300-4,600 cal years BP. A second phase of gully activity occurred between 3,000-3,600 cal years BP. These events coincided with high floods in small to medium rivers, with minimal human impact. The study suggests that the Mid-Holocene was characterized by extreme precipitation events, possibly within the highest ranks of Holocene precipitation, leading to significant geomorphic changes. Forest fires also contributed to slope destabilization. The findings highlight the importance of extreme hydroclimatic events in driving significant erosion processes in the region.The study examines the formation and activity of four Holocene gullies in the Satino area of the Russian Plain, focusing on the period from 4,300 to 6,200 years ago.
