Well-developed rubble slopes were investigated in the alpine region of Mt. Shirouma-dake, Central Japan. On these rubble slopes, local climatic conditions, slope form, surface materials, surface micro-relief, vegetation, types of surface processes, and soil-movement rates were observed and/or measured and then the interactions between the surface processes and the others were analyzed. It was recognized that close relations exist between the surface processes and the local climatic conditions, slope form, and surface materials. Strong winter winds and abundant snowfall are very important for the rubble slope formation. In addition to them, properties of the surface materials represents one of the most important factors which controls the types and intensity of surface processes, surface micro-relief, types and coverage rates of vegetation. It is concluded that not only the local climatic conditions but also local terrestrial conditions are important for the rubble slope formation.
