  abstract = {{T}he effect of mean precipitation rate on erosion is debated. {T}hree hypotheses may explain why the current erosion rate and runoff may be spatially uncorrelated: (1) the topography has reached a steady state for which the erosion rate pattern is determined by the uplift rate pattern; (2) the erosion rate only depends weakly on runoff; or (3) the studied catchments are experiencing different transient adjustments to uplift or to climate variations. {I}n the {C}hilean {A}ndes, between 27°{S} and 39°{S}, the mean annual runoff rates increase southwards from 0.01 to 2.6 m a-1 but the catchment averaged rates of decadal erosion (suspended sediment) and millennial erosion (10{B}e in river sand) peak at c. 0.25 mm a-1 for runoff c. 0.5 m a-1 and then decrease while runoff keeps increasing. {E}rosion rates increase non-linearly with the slope and weakly with the square root of the runoff. {H}owever, sediments trapped in the subduction trench suggest a correlation between the current runoff pattern and erosion over millions of years. {T}he third hypothesis above may explain these different erosion rate patterns; the patterns seem consistent with, although not limited to, a model where the relief and erosion rate have first increased and then decreased in response to a period of uplift, at rates controlled by the mean precipitation rate.},
