Linking hydrological, infinite slope stability and land-use change models through GIS for assessing the impact of deforestation on slope stability in high Andean watersheds
(2003-06-16)
In the Ecuadorian Andes, episodic slope movements comprising shallow rotational and translational slides and rapid flows of debris and soil material are common. Consequently, not only considerable financial costs are ...
Back-analysis of slope failures by numerical techniques
(2016)
A method of defining strength parameters from slope failures is presented in this study, based on combining finite element and optimization analyses. The strength reduction technique is used to determine the shear strain ...
MECHANICAL HARVESTING OF COFFEE IN HIGH SLOPE
(Univ Fed Rural Semi-arido-ufersa, 2016-01-01)
Brazilian coffee farming is carried out both on flat and steep lands. In flat areas, mechanized operations are intensive; however, in steep slope areas, certain mechanized operations cannot be performed, such as harvesting. ...
Ecological factors affecting gene flow between populations of Anarthrophyllum cumingii (Papilionaceae) growing on equatorial- and polar-facing slopes in the Andes of Central Chile
(1997)
In the Andes of Central Chile, flowering commences 1-2 months earlier on equatorial-(north-) facing than on polar- (south-) facing slopes, and pollinator assemblages also differ between these habitats. In order to understand ...
Terrain slope effect on forest height and wood volume estimation from gedi data
(2021-06-01)
The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation LiDAR (GEDI) is a new full waveform (FW) based LiDAR system that presents a new opportunity for the observation of forest structures globally. The backscattered GEDI signals, as ...
Design of microirrigation systems in sloping lands using linear programming
(2000-12-01)
When the area to be irrigated has a high slope gradient in the manifold line direction, an option is to use a tapered pipeline to economize on pipe costs and to keep the pressure head variations within desired limits. The ...
