Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

We outline the geomorphological relationships between glaciers, lakes and bofedal wetlands, and the way in which moraines, talus slopes and sandar interact with catchment hydrology in the tropical Andes of Peru. Bofedales are well developed within glacial limits, with glacial processes such as erosion and formation of moraines providing the poorly ...

Geomorphological characterization of the DsGSD enables us to identify the sources of sediment that could be mobilized as debris flows. In the area, pseudo‐badlands morphotype has been defined and mapped, representing the main sources of risk beside abandoned quarry deposits.

Stemflows and Preferential Flows: A Historical Review and Challenges for the Future
Possible implementation of stemflow in the MIPS model where all water in the system is represented as particles in pathways of specified velocity. Stemflow (green particles) can be treated as a localised input with probabilities of entering higher velocity pathways than throughfall, depending on the input rates.

A field study was carried out to assess soil loss from ephemeral gully (EG) erosion at 6 different locations (Digil, Vimtim, Muvur, Gella, Lamorde and Madanya) around the Mubi area between April, 2008 and October, 2009.

ABSTRACT Mount Erciyes, the largest active volcano of Central Anatolia (Turkey), erupted explosively during the Holocene, producing the Karagüllü, Perikartin and Dikkartin tuff rings. Even though major cities like Kayseri and its ~1 million residents sit directly on these pyroclastic deposits, the timing and magnitude of the explosive eruptions have ...

The study and quantification of soil redistribution is a complex and difficult task and even a non-solved question at catchment scale both in field and numerical simulation studies.

ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

Abstract Seacliff erosion in steep terrain poses major risks to transportation and critical infrastructure. In Big Sur, California, USA, seacliff erosion threatens the sustainability of the central coast stretch of California State Route 1, a transportation corridor that is critical to the region's economy.
