Soil erosion is a serious problem in areas with expanding construction, agricultural production, and improper storm water
management. It is important to understand the major processes affecting sediment delivery to surficial water bodies in order
to tailor effective mitigation and outreach activities. This study analyzes how naturally occurring and anthropogenic influences,
such as urbanization and soil disturbance on steep slopes, are reflected in the amount of soil erosion and sediment delivery
within sub-watershed-sized areas. In this study, two sub-watersheds of the Rappahannock River, Horsepen Run and Little Falls
Run, were analyzed using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and a sediment delivery ratio (SDR) to estimate
annual sediment flux rates. The RUSLE/SDR analyses for Horsepen Run and Little Falls Run predicted 298 Mg/y and 234 Mg/y,
respectively, but nearly identical per-unit-area sediment flux rates of 0.15 Mg/ha/y and 0.18 Mg/ha/y. Suspended sediment
sampling indicated greater amounts of sediment in Little Falls Run, which is most likely due to anthropogenic influences.
Field analyses also suggest that all-terrain vehicle crossings represent the majority of sediment flux derived from forested
areas of Horsepen Run. The combined RUSLE/SDR and field sampling data indicate that small-scale anthropogenic disturbances
(ATV trails and construction sites) play a major role in overall sediment flux rates for both basins and that these sites
must be properly accounted for when evaluating sediment flux rates at a sub-watershed scale. 相似文献

A System Dynamics Model for the Environmental Management of the Sepetiba Bay Watershed, Brazil 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the recent past, the Sepetiba Bay watershed, located in the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil has experienced rapid industrial
development and population growth, as well as an increase in water pollution and environmental degradation. To analyze the
complex interrelationships among the agents affecting the Sepetibza Bay environment, a system dynamics model was developed.
The model builds on extensive studies conducted for the watershed, and simulates different hypotheses of economic growth and
of demographic expansion. Thus, it can be used as a decision support tool for the identification of investment priorities
and policy analyses under various scenarios. In order to provide a comprehensive approach to the environmental management
of the Sepetiba Bay watershed, the model had to consider only the most relevant aspects of the behavior and the key interactions
among agents operating in the watershed. In this article, the model’s structure is presented together with some of its main
results. 相似文献

Seasonality of Soil Erosion Under Mediterranean Conditions at the Alqueva Dam Watershed 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Alqueva reservoir created the largest artificial lake of Western Europe in 2010. Since then, the region has faced challenges due to land-use changes that may increase the risk of erosion and shorten the lifetime of the reservoir, increasing the need to promote land management sustainability. This paper investigates the aspect of seasonality of soil erosion using a comprehensive methodology that integrates the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) approach, geographic information systems, geostatistics, and remote-sensing. An experimental agro-silvo pastoral area (typical land-use) was used for the RUSLE factors update. The study confirmed the effect of seasonality on soil erosion rates under Mediterranean conditions. The highest rainfall erosivity values occurred during the autumn season (433.6 MJ mm ha?1 h?1), when vegetation cover is reduced after the long dry season. As a result, the autumn season showed the highest predicted erosion (9.9 t ha?1), contributing 65 % of the total annual erosion. The predicted soil erosion for winter was low (1.1 t ha?1) despite the high rainfall erosivity during that season (196.6 MJ mm ha?1 h?1). The predicted annual soil loss was 15.1 t ha?1, and the sediment amount delivery was 4,314 × 103 kg. Knowledge of seasonal variation would be essential to outline sustainable land management practices. This model will be integrated with World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies methods to support decision-making in that watershed, and it will involve collaboration with both local people and governmental institutions. 相似文献

Valuation of Spatial Configurations and Forest Types in the Southern Appalachian Highlands 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Site-specific estimates of the values of spatial configuration and forest composition are presented. Amenity values of forest
patches are found to vary the most by urban and sprawling development patterns of specific areas and forest types. For example,
smaller patches of deciduous forest are more highly valued in the urban and sprawling areas of Greensboro, North Carolina,
whereas larger patches of deciduous forest are more highly valued in the urban and sprawling areas of Greenville, South Carolina.
Within the Greenville and Greensboro areas, visible landscape complexity is highly valued for deciduous and evergreen forest
patches, whereas lower visible landscape complexity, i.e., smoothly trimmed forest patch boundaries, is highly valued for
mixed forest patches. 相似文献

In this article we compared the response of surface water runoff to a storm event for different rates of urbanization, reforestation
and riparian buffer setbacks across forty subwatersheds of the Muskegon River Watershed located in Michigan, USA. We also
made these comparisons for several forecasted and one historical land use scenarios (over 140 years). Future land use scenarios
to 2040 for forest regrowth, urbanization rates and stream setbacks were developed using the Land Transformation Model (LTM).
Historical land use information, from 1900 at 5-year time step intervals, was created using a Backcast land use change model
configured using artificial neural network and driven by agriculture and housing census information. We show that (1) controlling
the rate of development is the most effective policy option to reduce runoff; (2) establishing setbacks along the mainstem
are not as effective as controlling urban growth; (3) reforestation can abate some of the runoff effects from urban growth
but not all; (4) land use patterns of the 1970s produced the least amount of runoff in most cases in the Muskegon River Watershed
when compared to land use maps from 1900 to 2040; and, (5) future land use patterns here not always lead to increased (worse)
runoff than the past. We found that while ten of the subwatersheds contained futures that were worse than any past land use
configuration, twenty-five (62.5%) of the subwatersheds produced the greatest amount of runoff in 1900, shortly after the
entire watershed was clear-cut. One third (14/40) of the subwatersheds contained the minimum amount of runoff in the 1960s
and 1970s, a period when forest amounts were greatest and urban amounts relatively small. 相似文献

This study was designed to examine the responses of soil CO2 efflux to precipitation pulses of varying intensities using precipitation simulations in two subtropical forests [i.e., mixed
and broadleaf forests (MF and BF)] in southern China. The artificial precipitation event was achieved by spraying a known
amount of water evenly in a plot (50 × 50 cm2) over a 30 min period, with intensities ranging from 10, 20, 50 and 100 mm within the 30 min. The various intensities were
simulated in both dry season (in December 2007) and wet (in May 2008) season. We characterized the dynamic patterns of soil
CO2 efflux rate and environmental factors over the 5 h experimental period. Results showed that both soil moisture and soil CO2 efflux rate increased to peak values for most of the simulated precipitation treatments, and gradually returned to the pre-irrigation
levels after irrigation in two forests. The maximum peak of soil CO2 efflux rate occurred at the 10 mm precipitation event in the dry season in BF and was about 3.5 times that of the pre-irrigation
value. The change in cumulative soil CO2 efflux following precipitation pulses ranged from −0.68 to 1.72 g CO2 m−2 over 5 h compared to the pre-irrigation levels and was generally larger in the dry season than in the wet season. The positive
responses of soil CO2 efflux to precipitation pulses declined with the increases in precipitation intensity, and surprisingly turned to negative
when precipitation intensity reached 50 and 100 mm in the wet season. These findings indicated that soil CO2 efflux could be changed via pulse-like fluxes in subtropical forests in southern China as fewer but extreme precipitation
events occur in the future. 相似文献

Abstract: Available water supply across the contiguous 48 states was estimated as precipitation minus evapotranspiration using data for the period 1953‐1994. Precipitation estimates were taken from the Parameter‐Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM). Evapotranspiration was estimated using two models, the Advection‐Aridity model and the Zhang model. The evapotranspiration models were calibrated using precipitation and runoff data for 655 hydrologically undisturbed basins, and then tested using estimates of natural runoff for the 18 water resource regions (WRR) of the 48 contiguous states. The final water supply coverage reflects a mixture of outputs from the two evapotranspiration models. Political, administrative, and land cover boundaries were mapped over the coverage of mean annual water supply. Across the entire study area, we find that 53% of the water supply originates on forested land, which covers only 29% of the surface area, and that 24% originates on federal lands, including 18% on national forests and grasslands alone. Forests and federal lands are even more important in the West (the 11 western contiguous states), where 65% of the water supply originates on forested land and 66% on federal lands, with national forests and grasslands contributing 51%. 相似文献

Watershed scale assessment of nitrogen and phosphorus loadings in the Indian River Lagoon basin,Florida 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
There is a growing evidence that the ecological and biological integrity of the lagoon has declined during the last 50 years, probably due to the decline in water quality. Establishment of a watershed scale seagrass-based nutrient load assessment is the major aim of water quality management in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). Best estimate loadings incorporate wet and dry deposition, surface water, groundwater, sediment nutrient flux, and point source effluent discharge data. On the average, the IRL is receiving annual external loadings of 832, 645 and 94,476kg of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP), respectively, from stormwater discharges and agricultural runoff. The average internal cycling of TN and TP from sediment deposits in the IRL was about 42,640kg TN and 1050kg TPyr(-1). Indirect evidence suggests that atmospheric deposition has played a role in the ongoing nutrient enrichment in the IRL. The estimated total atmospheric deposition of TN and TP was about 32,940 and 824kgyr(-1), while groundwater contribution was about 84,920 and 24,275kgyr(-1), respectively, to the surface waters of the IRL. The estimated annual contribution of point effluent discharge was about 60,408kg TN and 7248kg TP. In total, the IRL basin is receiving an annual loading of about 1,053,553kg TN and 127,873kg TP. With these results, it is clear that the current rate of nutrient loadings is causing a shift in the primary producers of the IRL from macrophyte to phytoplankton- or algal-based system. The goal is to reverse that shift, to attain and maintain a macrophyte-based estuarine system in the IRL. 相似文献
