Forest ecosystem processes at the watershed scale: incorporating hillslope hydrology
Band, L.E., Patterson, P., Nemani, R. and Running, S.W., 1993. Forest ecosystem processes at the watershed scale: incorporating hillslope hydrology. Agric. For. Meteorol., 63: 93-126. An approach to distributed modeling of watershed hydro-ecological processes over large spatial scales is described. A data and simulation system, RHESSys (Regional HydroEcological Simulation System), combines a se...
متن کاملIncorporating Environmental Outcomes into a Health Economic Model.
OBJECTIVES Traditional economic evaluations for most health technology assessments (HTAs) have previously not included environmental outcomes. With the growing interest in reducing the environmental impact of human activities, the need to consider how to include environmental outcomes into HTAs has increased. We present a simple method of doing so. METHODS We adapted an existing clinical-econ...
متن کاملEconomic and Environmental Impact Assessment Using a Watershed Management Decision Support Tool
A Watershed Management Decision Support System (WAMADSS) is used to evaluate the economic and environmental consequences of alternative land use/management practices (LUMPs). WAMADSS consists of three components: (1) a GIS, (2) an economic model, and (3) two environmental simulation models. Specifically, ARC/INFO serves as the engine for integrating the Cost and Return Estimator (CARE) program,...
متن کاملA new hypervolume approach for assessing environmental risks.
Assessing risks of uncertain but potentially damaging events, such as environmental disturbances, disease outbreaks and pest invasions, is a key analytical step that informs subsequent decisions about how to respond to these events. We present a continuous risk measure that can be used to assess and prioritize environmental risks from uncertain data in a geographical domain. The metric is influ...
متن کاملForecasting land use change and its environmental impact at a watershed scale.
Urban expansion is a major driving force altering local and regional hydrology and increasing non-point source (NPS) pollution. To explore these environmental consequences of urbanization, land use change was forecast, and long-term runoff and NPS pollution were assessed in the Muskegon River watershed, located on the eastern coast of Lake Michigan. A land use change model, LTM, and a web-based...
