ABSTRACT. Current challenges in soil erosion research have created demand for integrated, flexible, and easily parameterized sediment transport models. Most of the existing monolithic erosion models (e.g., WEPP and WEPS) are not modular, thus modifications require considerable time, effort, and expense. In this paper, the feasibility and challenges of using the Object Modeling System (OMS) for ...

soil erosion is a serious problem especially in northern parts of iran. one themost important side effects on soil erosion may be the decline in qualities of soil refers toagricultural productivity. so it is very important to assess the soil erosion risk for thesustainable development of agriculture. this study outlines ways undertaken to provide anew tool to manage water erosion from physical ...

Significant advances in upland erosion modeling have been achieved in the past decade. The TREX (Two-dimensional Runoff, Erosion, and Export) watershed model has been developed at Colorado State University for the simulation of surface runoff from spatially and temporally distributed rainstorms on watersheds. The model has been applied in several countries with different climatic conditions. TR...

It is of great significance to dynamically simulate and forecast the development and evolutionary of soil erosion process. Traditionally, most of soil erosion models are essentially steady-state models. Thus, they have limitations at real-time simulation on the initiation and development of soil erosion process. Cellular Automata (CA), with a “from down to up” dynamic modeling framework, is cap...

there are technical and theoretical knowledge of the gully, ditch the clean areas on topographic maps and digital models that will help. however, the ability to use maps (dem) to identify the location and frequency of gully requires knowledge about the process of creating a moat.the present study modeled gulliation prone areas in dyreh river basin done. materials and methods used in this resear...

Although distinct human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines can display considerable epigenetic variation, it has been unclear whether such variability impacts their utility for disease modeling. Here, we show that although low-passage female hiPSCs retain the inactive X chromosome of the somatic cell they are derived from, over time in culture they undergo an "erosion" of X chromosome ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of rapidly changing land use on erosion and sedimentation in a mixed land use watershed in the Ozark Highlands of the USA. The research combines a geographic information system-based soil erosion modeling approach with land use change detection to quantify the influence of changing land use on erosion risk. Five land use/land cover maps wer...

wind erosion is a major environmental issue affecting land resources and socio-economic settings in iran. this paper outlines a study undertaken to provide a new tool to manage wind erosion from physical and economic perspectives. the southern part of the varamin plain in south of tehran is used as a case study. the focus of this study is on exploring the economic and physical impacts of 16 veg...
