Spatial Heterogeneity in Aeolian Erodibility: Uniform, Topographic, Geomorphologic, and Hydrologic Hypotheses
Soil aeolian erodibility is the efficiency with which soil produces dust for a given meteorological forcing. Quantifying soil erodibility is crucial for forecasting dust events and the climatological distribution and forcing of dust. We use long term station observations and satellite indices of mineral dust to ascertain the role of regional topography, geomorphology, and hydrology in controlli...
متن کاملHydrologic and aeolian controls on vegetation patterns in arid landscapes
[1] Hydrological and aeolian processes redistribute sediments and nutrients within arid landscapes with important effects on the composition and structure of vegetation. Despite the relevance of wind and water erosion to the dynamics of arid and semiarid ecosystems, the interactions between these two processes remain poorly understood. In this paper we present the results of an intensive set of...
متن کاملSalmonids and the Hydrologic and Geomorphic Features of Their Spawning Streams in British Columbia
The objective of this chapter is to describe some key linkages between the ecology of salmonid fish and the hydrologic and geomorphic features of their spawning streams in British Columbia. Salmonid refers to all species in the Salmonidae family of fishes, which includes Pacific salmon and trout (Oncorhynchus spp.), char (Salvelinus spp.), grayling (Thymallus spp.), whitefish and cisco (Coregon...
متن کاملHydrologic and geomorphic flow thresholds in the Lower Brazos River, Texas, USA
River science and management often require a design or reference discharge. The common (and sometimes unavoidable) use of such discharges may, however, obscure the fact that the magnitude and frequency of critical flows can differ due to various hydrological, geomorphological, and ecological criteria. Threshold stages and discharges were identified for six lower Brazos River, Texas gaging stati...
متن کاملVegetation response to hydrologic and geomorphic factors in an arid region of the Baja California Peninsula
Remotely sensed imageries were used to analyze the response of desert vegetation to physiographic factors and accumulated precipitation in drier and wetter years within a region of >16,500 km(2) sampled with 5,000 random pixels of 30 m. Vegetation development was indexed by the annual maximum values for greenness (SAVI) and canopy water content (NDII). Precipitation was interpolated from the 0....
