Improved computer models of erosion have been developed, considering soil hydraulic conductivity. The models deal with erosion of levees, dams and embankments due to overtopping. The simulations trace the formation of rills and gullies, beginning with initial overtopping and continuing to final breaching. Physical models performed at 1-g and high g using a geotechnical centrifuge have been used...

introduction: gully erosion is an important type of soil erosion in iran and ardebil province (moghimi and salami, 2011; khatibi, 2006). increasing the cross section of gullies is an indicator for gully developing (deng et al, 2015). topography and soil properties are two important factors in gully developing in various regions of worldwide (poesena et al, 2003). despite the importance of soil ...

Introduction: The discovery of gullies on Mars attracted significant attention because of the apparent role of liquid water in their formation and because of their very youthful nature [1,2]. They were initially interpreted to be the result of groundwater discharge [1-3], though further considerations regarding the current metastability of liquid water on the surface of Mars generated alternati...

A forest simulation model (called EDEN) of eucalypt dynamics in southeastern Australia is presented to predict habitat quality for arboreal marsupials. The model is presented as a tool for testing alternative hypotheses of forest management in the study area, EDEN uses a forest gap simulation (IABOWA/FORET type) model as a pattern generator of habitat in different landscape positions and under ...

Fine sediments in debris-flow gullies are quaternary with a particle size of less than 2 mm. Since they easy to suspend flowing water, their stability plays key “probe” role early warning. The permeability coefficient is the main internal control factor fine sediment debris flow. However, there no quantitative model between and its influencing factors, which seriously affects evaluation flow se...

Gully erosion is well-developed in the Jinsha dry-hot valley region, which has caused serious soil losses. volume regarded as an effective indicator that can reflect development intensity of gully erosion, and evolutionary processes gullies be predicted based on dynamic variation volume. Establishing prediction model essential to determine accurately conveniently. Therefore, this work, empirica...

In recent years, modeling gully erosion susceptibility has become an increasingly popular approach for assessing the impact of different land degradation factors. However, forms human influence have so far not been identified in order to form independent model. We investigate spatial relation between and distance settlements footpaths, as typical areas interaction, with natural environment rura...
