Exploring Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to Detect Soil Pipes: Theoretical Modeling and Field Experiments

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion research remains critical for sustainable development as it impacts soil health through different erosive processes. Recent studies on soil piping highlight advancements in detecting surface features (using UAV); however, detecting underground pipes still remains challenging.

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Geomorphology of glaciated gorges in a granitic massif (Gredos range, central Spain)

Journal of Maps, 2018
A detailed geomorphological map on a 1:10,000 scale is presented for a high mountain area in Gredos range (Iberian Central System). Only few detailed geomorphological maps of the range are available despite the wide diversity of landforms.

Angelica danxiacola (Apiaceae), a new species from eastern China based on morphological and molecular data

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Angelica danxiacola, a new species of Apiaceae from Danxia landform in Zhejiang Province, eastern China, is described and illustrated. This species exhibits similarities in morphological features to A. morii but is distinguishable by several discrete features, such as the shape and size of the leaf blades and leaflets, number of rays, pedicel length ...

Quantification of Loess Landforms from Three-Dimensional Landscape Pattern Perspective by Using DEMs

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021
Quantitative analysis of the differences and the exploration of the evolution models of different loess landform types are greatly important to the in-depth understanding of the evolution process and mechanism of the loess landforms.

Primulina marmorata (Gesneriaceae), a new species from northern Guangxi, China

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Primulina marmorata, a new species of Gesneriaceae from the limestone areas of Siding Town, Rong'an County, liuzhou City, Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated here. It morphologically resembles P. yungfuensis in leaf blades. Still, it can be easily distinguished from the latter by noting a combination of characteristics, especially in its ...

Using bed-roughness signatures to characterise glacial landform assemblages beneath palaeo-ice sheets

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
Palaeo-glacial landforms can give insights into bed roughness that currently cannot be captured underneath contemporary-ice streams. A few studies have measured bed roughness of palaeo-ice streams but the bed roughness of specific landform assemblages ...

Populism and policy capacity: Evidence from an opposition municipality in Istanbul

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite achievements in its conceptual rigor, policy capacity still represents a relatively depoliticized concept that fails to sufficiently consider the ways in which politics plays a role in its creation, mobilization, or decay. This article seeks to contribute to this debate by investigating the impact of populism on policy capacity, the ...

Relationship between soil morphology and variability of upland degradation in Bogowonto Watershed, Central Java, Indonesia

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2020
Land-use change and lack of conservation in Bogowonto Watershed area have caused land degradation due to erosion and landslides. The rate of land degradation can be measured through the morphological characteristics of the soil and landscape.
