This paper reports on variation in leaf area index (L) in five Eucalyptus globulus Labill. plantations in response to application of nitrogen, thinning at age 2 years and variation in climate wetness index (the ratio of rainfall to potential evaporation). Observed L is compared with: (i) L predicted to optimize net primary productivity for a given average annual temperature, annual water use an...

nowadays, water supply for sustainable development is one of the most important concerns and challenges in most countries of the world. due to determination of groundwater potential zones are one of the important tools in the conservation, management and utilization of water resources. thus, the present study aimed to prioritize the effective factors on groundwater potential and its susceptibil...

This study aimed to produce the erosion susceptibility map of Godrahav basin by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. stream basin, located within borders Artvin province in Eastern Black Sea Region, covers an area approximately 5310.12 hectares. In order area, 11 geo-environmental criteria which are effective formation (slope, aspect, profile curvature, drainage density, distance netw...

The open source 30 m Copernicus DEM (COP-DEM) has been used to derive the geo-morphometric and topo-hydrological characteristics of Betwa River Basin. Drainage network with 7th order stream mostly dendritic pattern delineated using Strahler’s method. drainage density, frequency, form factor, length overland flow circulatory ratio basin were computed as 0.38 Km/Km2, 0.08 Km−2, 0.23, 1.31, 0.20, ...

Golestan Province is one of the most vulnerable areas to catastrophic flood events in Iran. The severity this region has grown dramatically during last decades, demanding a major investigation. Accordingly, an authentic map providing detailed information on floods required reduce future disasters. Three ensemble models produced by combination Evaluation Based Distance from Average Solution (EDA...

Abstract Kerala's Idukki district, which is situated on the Western Ghats of India, susceptible to flooding and landslides. As a result 2018 Kerala floods, this disaster-prone region experienced drought conditions. In order lessen effects future disasters, it also necessary identify evaluate district's groundwater potential (GWP). This work used three machine-learning (ML) algorithms – Random F...

Both natural and anthropogenic variables affect soil C distribution its pool, however studies about influence on are very limited in the literature. This study investigated effects organic carbon (SOC) changes cultivated lands of Northeast China. A total 196 topsoil samples (0–30 cm) were collected, analyzed for SOC content, 12 environmental (natural anthropogenic) selected as predictors. Natur...

Countermeasures to urban flooding should consider long-term perspectives, because climate change impacts are unpredictable and complex. Urban green spaces have emerged as a potential option to reduce urban flood risks, and their effectiveness has been highlighted in notable urban water management studies. In this study, flooded areas in Seoul, Korea, were divided into four flooded area types by...
