Abstract For over 40 years, Plant Functional Types (PFTs) have been used to discretize the ∼400,000 species of terrestrial plants into “similar” classes. Within Earth System Models (ESMs), PFTs simplify terrestrial biosphere modeling in combination with soil information and other site characteristics. However, in flux analysis studies, PFT schemes are often implemented as the sole analytical lens to clarify complex behavior. This usage assumes that PFTs adequately enable a mapping between cli…

Journal: Environmental Pollution · DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.123225 · Citations: 87

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, surface water

Europe’s ageing wastewater system often combines domestic sewage with surface runoff and industrial wastewaters. To reduce the associated risk of overloading wastewater treatment works during storms, and to prevent wastewater backing-up into properties, Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) are designed into wastewater networks to release excess discharge into rivers or coastal waters without treatment. In view of growing regulatory scrutiny and increasing public concern about their excessive disch…

Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow

Abstract Deglaciation has led to the transformation of glaciers into rock glaciers in various mountainous regions worldwide. However, the science of permafrost and rock glaciers remains under‐researched in the Himalayan region. This study presents a detailed inventory, dynamics, and permafrost distribution map for the Jhelum basin in the Kashmir Himalaya. The Permafrost Zonation Map (PZM) is created using a Logistic Regression Model based on topographic and climatic variables. High‐resolution…

The impacts of rainfall and soil moisture to flood hazards in a humid mountainous catchment: a modeling investigation

Journal: Frontiers in Earth Science · DOI: 10.3389/feart.2023.1285766 · Citations: 15

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow, flood

Floods pose a significant threat to the safety of countries with severe societal, economic, and environmental consequences, especially the flash floods in mountainous regions. Previous studies have shown that many floods were caused by intense rainfall with highly saturated soil. In this study, we applied a physically-based distributed hydrological model (Integrated Hydrology Model, InHM) to a warm humid mountainous catchment in Southwest China, the Shouxi River. The main objective of our res…

Matched topics: reservoir

With the construction of the Three Gorges Reservoir dam, frequent reservoir landslide events have been recorded. In recent years, multi-row stabilizing piles (MRSPs) have been used to stabilize massive reservoir landslides in China. In this study, two centrifuge model tests were carried out to study the unreinforced and MRSP-reinforced slopes subjected to reservoir water level (RWL) operation, using the Taping landslide as a prototype. The results indicate that the RWL rising can provide late…
