Vegetation-Sediment-Flow Interactions in Estuarine Wetlands
Coastal saltmarsh distribution in Australia appears to be following a global trend of decline. In the estuaries of NSW, saltmarsh is often squeezed between landward encroachment of mangrove forest and urban/industrial development of foreshore land. Efforts to maintain and rehabilitate saltmarsh are complicated by an incomplete understanding of the hydraulic drivers for estuarine vegetation dist...
متن کاملSediment patterns near a model patch of reedy emergent vegetation
24 This laboratory study describes the sediment patterns formed in a sand bed 25 around circular patches of rigid vertical cylinders, representing a patch of reedy 26 emergent vegetation. The patch diameter was much smaller than the channel 27 width. Two patch densities (solid volume fraction 3% and 10%) and two patch 28 diameters (22 and 10 cm) were considered. For flows above the threshold of...
متن کاملPrecipitation patterns alter growth of temperate vegetation
[1] In this paper, we use growing season Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an indicator of plant growth to quantify the relationships between vegetation production and intra-annual precipitation patterns for three major temperate biomes in China: grassland, deciduous broadleaf forest, and deciduous coniferous forest. With increased precipitation, NDVI of grassland and deciduous b...
متن کاملModeling of the interactions between forest vegetation, disturbances, and sediment yields
[1] The controls of forest vegetation, wildfires, and harvest vegetation disturbances on the frequency and magnitude of sediment delivery from a small watershed ( 3.9 km) in the Idaho batholith are investigated through numerical modeling. The model simulates soil development based on continuous bedrock weathering and the divergence of diffusive sediment transport on hillslopes. Soil removal is ...
متن کاملSediment Concentration in Interrill Flow: Interactions between Soil Surface Conditions, Vegetation and Rainfall
A database composed of 673 natural rainfall events with sediment concentration measurements at the field or plot scale was analysed. Measurements were conducted on similar soil type (loess soils prone to sealing phenomenon) to apprehend the variability and complexity involved in interrill erosion processes attributable to soil surface conditions. The effects of the dominant controlling factors ...
