The plains landform allows flood waters to pool more easily to provide larval habitat than hilly or other non-flat landforms.
The geomorphons algorithm was used to generate 10 original landforms: "flat", "footslope", "summit", "ridge", "shoulder", "spur", "slope", "hollow", "valley", and "depression" that were aggregated to new landforms coinciding with slope positions: "toeslope", "footslope", "backslope", "shoulder", "summit", and "depression" recognized by soil surveyors.
This study investigated distribution of soil properties on natural levee, valley flat, and backswamp landforms within and among the six river floodplains and compared results to the taxonomic classifications used historically during soil survey production.
The LMM presents a different view to evaluate and describe landforms by distinguishing valley bottoms and hilltops from flat areas considered as a landform per se in common practice in landform classification.
Extensive flat plateaus are typical landforms in the cratonic compartment of tropical regions.
The banded ironstone formation (BIF) ranges of south-western Australia are prominent landforms in a flat landscape and host a diverse flora.
These parameters are derived from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and used as thresholds for the classification of landform elements like crests, flats, depressions and slopes.
(black grama), and Larrea tridentata Coville (creosotebush) are dominant plants on the McKenzie Flats portion of the Llano de Manzano landform within Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico, part of the biome ecotone from the Colorado Shortgrass Steppe to the Chihuahuan Desert.
The relatively soft and easily eroded rocks have resulted in the landform in the area being mostly flat with gentle undulations.
Ten topographic transects were established on different barrier island landforms (i.e., washover fan, back-barrier flat, barrier flat, and dune field) which ranged in age from 1 to 228 years.
