Topographic and ecologic controls on root reinforcement
[1] Shallow landslides are a significant hazard in steep, soil-mantled landscapes. During intense rainfall events, the distribution of shallow landslides is controlled by variations in landscape gradient, the frictional and cohesive properties of soil and roots, and the subsurface hydrologic response. While gradients can be estimated from digital elevation models, information on soil and root p...
متن کاملDynamic Data Driven Application System for Wildfire Spread Simulation
Wildfires have significant impact on both ecosystems and human society. To effectively manage wildfires, simulation models are used to study and predict wildfire spread. The accuracy of wildfire spread simulations depends on many factors, including GIS data, fuel data, weather data, and high-fidelity wildfire behavior models. Unfortunately, due to the dynamic and complex nature of wildfire, it ...
متن کاملA heat transfer simulation model for wildfire spread
A new approach to fire spread simulation based on heat transfer events is described. The new simulation model is patch based with irregular patch shapes and sizes, which overcomes the influence of grid geometry on fire shape. It captures fire behaviour phenomena such as point fire acceleration and the dependence of fire rate of spread on line fire width. The new event based simulation model is ...

متن کاملVegetation and wildfire controls on sediment yield in bedrock landscapes
[1] Steep, rocky landscapes commonly exhibit high sediment yields and are especially sensitive to climate, tectonics, and wildfire. Predicting landscape response to these perturbations demands a quantitative understanding of erosion processes. However, existing models for hillslope sediment production and transport do not apply to landscapes with patchy soil and slopes that exceed the angle for...
