Modelling Fire Frequency in a Cerrado Savanna Protected Area
Covering almost a quarter of Brazil, the Cerrado is the world's most biologically rich tropical savanna. Fire is an integral part of the Cerrado but current land use and agricultural practices have been changing fire regimes, with undesirable consequences for the preservation of biodiversity. In this study, fire frequency and fire return intervals were modelled over a 12-year time series (1997-...
متن کاملPrescribed Fire in Oak Savanna: Fire Frequency Effects on Stand Structure and Dynamics
Although it is well known that fire can exert strong control on stand structure, composition, and dynamics in savannas and woodlands, the relationship between fire frequency and stand structure has been characterized in few of the world’s savanna and woodland ecosystems. To address this issue in temperate oak-dominated ecosystems, we studied the effects of fire frequency on stand structure and ...
متن کاملKinematic runoff and erosion model efficiency assessment for hydrological simulation of semi-arid watersheds
Hydrologic modeling of semi-arid watersheds is imperative for the development of appropriate water and soil conservation plans. In the current study, the efficiency of Kinematic Runoff and Erosion model-version 2 (K2) model was used to evaluate water discharge and sediment load simulation of Bar watershed, located in the north-eastern part of Iran. The K2 model relies on the kinematic wave appr...
متن کاملAn open software environment for hydrological model assessment and development
The hydromad (Hydrological Model Assessment and Development) package provides a set of functions which work together to construct, manipulate, analyse and compare hydrological models. The class of hydrological models considered are dynamic (typically at a daily time step), spatially-aggregated conceptual or statistical models. The package functions are designed to fit seamlessly into the R syst...
متن کاملInvestigating Spatial Pattern Comparison Methods for Distributed Hydrological Model Assessment
Distributed hydrological models combine observations and knowledge about a hydrological system to make spatial predictions of hydrological attributes. These models require methods to assess their performance at spatial prediction. The current practice for assessment is simplistic. For qualitative assessment, simulated spatial patterns are compared visually against an observed pattern to assess ...
