Accurately identifying hazard-prone areas is critical for mitigating risks from gravitational natural hazards such as landslides and rockfalls. Although many models exist to simulate these rapid mass movements, there are often trade-offs between simplicity, robustness precision. This study builds upon the well-established energy line principle by reinterpreting angle a kinetic friction coefficient, enabling derivation of equations motion that describe forces driving movements. Using Lagrange...
Abstract. The mitigation of the risk from gravitational natural hazards involves a variety measures in engineering and management. basis for any is identification hazard prone areas by considering past events model simulations. Various models are available simulation but their application often trade off between simplicity accuracy. A physical interpretation well established energy line principle allows to formulate corresponding equations motion introduce that still simple more accurate....
The hydrological response of sloping catchments is strongly conditioned by the connectivity subsurface preferential flows. objective this paper to investigate role played stemflow infiltration in water flow dynamics, focusing on a forested hillslope located an Aleppo pine Mediterranean forest (Pinus halepensis, Mill.) at Sierra Calderona, Valencia province, Spain. We combined artificial experiments with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) as non-invasive technique stemflow-induced paths activated...
Incident gross precipitation is divided by tree canopies into three main parts: i) intercepted rainfall, which evaporates directly from the canopies, ii) throughfall, reaches soil surface after passing through and iii) stemflow, concentrated to stems. Stemflow tends infiltrate preferentially around base of stem, once belowground, channeled roots.The objective this research was investigate contribution stemflow throughflow subsurface water dynamics in a hillslope forested with beech trees....
