Reducing Uncertainty in Sediment Yield Through Improved Representation of Land Cover: Application to Two Sub-catchments of the Mae Chaem, Thailand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two landuse grids were available for these catchments; one in 1995 was derived from satellite imagery and contained a relatively undifferentiated landuse classification (lumping all forest types into one category); the other in 2003 was derived from a mix of satellite imagery, ground truthing, and mapping, and better differentiated between landuse types (dividing forest types into evergreen, deciduous, and pine plantations).

Extended abstract 1- Introduction The forests of the Zagros vegetation area cover about six million hectares (40%) of Iran's forest area, which is dominated by oak species. These forests are exposed to a number of threats, including land use change, deforestation, over grazing, deliberate and unintentional fires, pest and disease attacks, and climate change. Although accurate and timely...
متن کاملDetermining Land Units Contributions to Suspended Sediment Yield Using Sediment Fingerprinting Method (Case Study: Tull Bane Basin, Golestan Province)
Fingerprint method is one of the new methods to determine the contribution of suspended sediment in the land units. In this method, a suitable composite (set) of diagnostic properties and a multivariate mixing model are employed to estimate the relative contribution of sediment sources to sediments transported to watershed outlet. This research carried out in the Tull Bane watershed with 3278.9...

Extended abstract Koohbord dam watershed with a total area of 38.29 square kilometers in Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad province is one of the watersheds without sedimentation data, which requires the use of empirical models to estimate the sediment for estimating sediment, so the results obtained through data is the basis of the management plans of dam watershed. In this research, using base maps ...
متن کاملEvaluation of soil losses and sediment yield using modified PSIAC model
ABSTRACT- One of the big problems today human societies are faced with is the problem of soil erosion. In this study, the "MPSIAC model" was used to estimate sediment yield and provide sediment yield map in Cachoyeh watershed. The MPSIAC method incorporates nine environmental factors that contribute to sediment yield of the watershed. These factors are: surface geology, soil, climate, runoff, t...
