Maximum flood depth characterizes above-ground biomass in African seasonally shallowly flooded grasslands
Flood depth has been frequently used to explain the distribution of plant species in seasonally flooded grasslands, but its relation with vegetation production has remained ambiguous. The relationship between flooding and above-ground biomass at the end of the flooding season and during the dry seasonwas studied to assess the impact of reflooding on the Logone floodplain, Cameroon. Above-ground...
متن کاملStudy of Ecosystem Dynamics in Sahelian Floodplains Using Envisat Asar C-band Data
The Waza-Logone floodplain in the north of Cameroon is both ecologically and economically of exceptional importance. Envisat ASAR Alternating Polarization images are used for studying the flooded grassland vegetation. Backscatter signature of different vegetation types, varying in species composition, height, density, and flooding condition, were analyzed and interpreted. Feature selection base...
متن کاملEffects of Caspian Sea water level fluctuations on existing drains
This study is an attempt to develop an integrated methodology to predict the impact of the Caspian Sea on flooding using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and hydrodynamic modeling. A rise in the sea level might lead to major flooding events, and have a severe impact on the spatial development of cities and regions. The feasibility of simulating a flood event along a drain channel is evaluat...

متن کاملSpatial Analysis of Flood Hazard in Nirchay River Basin Using HEC-HMS Model and and fuzzy logic
Floods are one of the most abundant and destructive natural disasters that every year are caused heavy losses of life and property. Due to human activity in river systems and construction in rivers, flood damage has an upward trend. One of the most important actions to reduce flood damage is the provision of flood hazard zoning maps and their use in spatial planning. In this study, the risk of ...
