Effect of topographic slope on the export of nitrate in humid catchments: a 3D model study [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Excess export of nitrate to streams affects ecosystem structure and functions and has been an environmental issue attracting worldwide attention. The dynamics of catchment-scale solute export from diffuse nitrogen sources can be explained by the changes ...

Programa para obtener tablas de valores de pendiente del terreno usando mapas topográficos
Investigaciones Geográficas, 1977 The slope gradient between two given points on the terrain can be obtained by means of the distance between contour lines on topographic maps. The program PENDIENTES, written in FORTRAN by the author, produces a set of tables, having values of slope ...

OBJECT-BASED CLASSIFICATION AND CHANGE DETECTION OF HOKKAIDO, JAPAN [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Topography and geology are factors to characterize the distribution of natural vegetation. Topographic contour is particularly influential on the living conditions of plants such as soil moisture, sunlight, and windiness.

Topographic thresholds for plant colonization on semi‐arid eroded slopes
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2009 AbstractSoil erosion plays an important role in plant colonization of semi‐arid degraded areas. In this study, we aimed at deepening our knowledge of the mechanisms that control plant colonization on semi‐arid eroded slopes in east Spain by (i) determining topographic thresholds for plant colonization, (ii) identifying the soil properties limiting ...

A review of topographic controls on moraine distribution [PDF]
, 2014 Ice-marginal moraines are often used to reconstruct the dimensions of former ice masses, which are then used as proxies for palaeoclimate. This approach relies on the assumption that the distribution of moraines in the modern landscape is an accurate ...
