Chinese progress in geomorphometry [PDF]

Journal of Chinese Geography, 2017
Geomorphometry, the science of digital terrain analysis (DTA), is an important focus of research in both geomorphology and geographical information science (GIS). Given that 70% of China is mountainous, geomorphological research is popular among Chinese scholars, and the development of GIS over the last 30 years has led to significant advances in ...

Surface Roughness in Geomorphometry: From Basic Metrics Toward a Coherent Framework

Remote Sensing
Surface roughness (SR), most often computed from a digital elevation model (DEM), is a fundamental concept in geomorphometry, with significant applications across the earth sciences and ecology. However, its analysis remains fragmented, lacking a unified

Editorial: Frontiers in marine geomorphometry

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine geomorphometry is the science of quantitative terrain characterization applied to the seabed. Like many geospatial applications, techniques used for marine geomorphometry have been sourced from the terrestrial sciences. Through progress in the fields of seabed mapping, marine geomorphology, benthic habitat mapping, and marine ecology, scientists

Geomorphometry -diversity in quantitative surface analysis

Progress in Physical Geography, 2000
A widening variety of applications is diversifying geomorphometry ( digital terrain modelling), the quantitative study of topography. An amalgam of earth science, mathematics, engineering and computer science, the discipline has been revolutionized by the computer manipulation of gridded terrain heights, or digital elevation models (DEMs).

Exploring Taphrina deformans, the Springtime Scourge of Peach. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
This review integrates current knowledge on host–pathogen interactions, epidemiological processes, resistance mechanisms and peach‐resistant varieties, while critically identifying key knowledge gaps. It provides the first comprehensive, integrative description of the Taphrina deformans life cycle in relation to the annual developmental cycle of the ...

Progress and Prospects of Research on Microhabitat Scale Characterization and Utilization in Chinese Karst Area. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Karst regions exhibit ecologically fragile environments but host a rich diversity of microhabitats across spatial scales. Vegetation productivity and carbon sequestration patterns are intricately governed by subterranean microhabitat conditions. Microhabitat‐based technologies demonstrate transformative potential in reconciling human livelihoods with ...

Assessing Marginal Shallow-Water Bathymetric Information Content of Lidar Sounding Attribute Data and Derived Seafloor Geomorphometry

Remote Sensing, 2021
Shallow-water depth estimates from airborne lidar data might be improved by using sounding attribute data (SAD) and ocean geomorphometry derived from lidar soundings.

Habitat-Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (<i>Notropis bifrenatus</i>) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We developed local and regional models for Maine and New Hampshire that may be used to focus bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) surveys on areas with high predicted habitat suitability. This is significant because bridle shiners receive protection or concern status in thirteen states and two Canadian provinces: Limited data show that bridle shiners ...
