The revised Morgan, Morgan and Finney (rMMF) water erosion model calculates annual surface runoff soil loss from field-sized areas. original version of the rMMF is neither suited to calculate along irregular hillslopes, nor capable allow infiltration once generated at places where speed slows down, could occur under natural conditions. aim this article describe a new hillslope that allows runof...

The present study aimed at evaluating differences in rotifer distribution in three estuarine zones in an inverse estuary located in the Semiarid Region of Brazil. Zones were chosen based on their proximity to the ocean and river border as a means of reflecting a horizontal salinity gradient. High freshwater discharge during the rainy season was the major determinant of rotifer composition. On t...

Abstract Drylands are ecohydrologically-coupled ecosystems whose functioning depends on the interplay between hydrological connectivity runoff source areas and capacity of vegetation to retain water fluxes associated resources. In this study we present a new easily applicable methodology for ecohydrological characterization dryland ecosystem grounded in balance these two strongly interrelated p...

Abstract. Theoretical and experimental work (Furbish et al., 2021a, b, c) indicates that the travel distances of rarefied particle motions on rough hillslope surfaces are described by a generalized Pareto distribution. The form this distribution varies with balance between gravitational heating due to conversion potential kinetic energy frictional cooling particle–surface collisions. in problem...

Abstract. We examine a theoretical formulation of the probabilistic physics rarefied particle motions and deposition on rough hillslope surfaces using measurements travel distances obtained from laboratory field-based experiments, supplemented with high-speed imaging audio recordings that highlight effects particle–surface collisions. The formulation, presented in companion paper (Furbish et al...
