Snowmelt-triggered debris flows in seasonal snowpacks [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Snowmelt-triggered debris flows commonly occur in mountains. On 14 June 2019, a debris flow occurred on a steep, east-facing slope composed of unconsolidated glacial and periglacial sediments in Yosemite National Park. Originating as a shallow landslide,

Ecological Stoichiometric Characteristics in Organs of Ammopiptanthus mongolicus in Different Habitats

Plants, 2023
The essence of plant ecological stoichiometry is to study the relationships between species and their environment, including nutrient absorption, utilization and cycling processes as well as the nutrient limitation of plants. Plants can regulate nutrient

Numerical study on wind profiles change trend of upright reticulation barriers under different configuration models

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
To explore how to lay the same specifications to maximize the protection benefits of mechanical sand barriers is an essential issue in the actual production process. We used the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method and the shear stress transport
