Professor emeritus Anders Rapp, the internationally known geomorpho-logist, passed away on December 27, 1998. During his last year AndersRapp initiated and, together with a group of other Swedish scientist, carriedout investigations on severe rainstorms, notably on that which struck Fulu-fjäll, a mountain in central Sweden, in August 1997. The consequences forvegetation and substrate formed part of the study. A section of issue No.3, 1999, of Geografiska Annaler Series A, had been reserved for the pre-sentation of the results of this study. Unhappily, Anders Rapp was not tosee them published. The following four papers comprising the results of therainstorm study are dedicated to the late Professor Anders Rapp in honoryof an eminent scientist.
