Definition from
Glossary Of Geography:
Very irregular topography resulting from wind and water erosion of sedimentary rock.
Example sentences:
Badlands are semiarid regions with sparse vegetation that experience high rates of erosion. Water and wind, instead of carving gentle hills and broad valleys, sculpt soft sedimentary rock into intricate mazes of narrow ravines, v-shaped gullies, knife-sharp ridges, buttes, and colorful pinnacles. (SOUTH DAKOTA BADLANDS)
Both badlands and gullies appear to have developed since European settlement and to be part of the same hydrological system with extensive areas of bare ground (badlands) feeding water to incising gullies. (ScienceDirect)
n the Badlands, soils can consist of sandstone, shale, and lignite. All soils have been modified by erosion (i.e. wind, water, and ice). (University of Idaho)

tokë jopjellore
Definition from
own experience or research:
Tokë jopjellore quhet toka me topografi shumë të çrregullt si rezultat i erozionit të shkëmbinjve sedimentarë nga erërat dhe ujërat.
Example sentences:
Rritet në rrafshnaltat e maleve të përziera, në ato të tharta (acidike pH 4,5) në tokat jopjellore të verdha, në lartësinë mbidetare prej 800 gjer në 2000 m, më se shpeshti ndërmjet 1200 –1400 m të lartësisë mbidetare. (Botanix)
Mënyra e jetesës në këtë krahinë është ndikuar nga dimrat e gjatë e të egër, toka jopjellore dhe relievi i ashpër malor. (Agjencia Kombëtare e Turizmit)

: Agree, and this should be integrated at the GBK glossary. Djerrë would not be exactly it, as it has some technical specifics to make it deffer from badlands.
