For the watershed segmentation, we used the MATLAB function watershed after performing a noise-reduction process (smooth3 in MATLAB).
Rainfall, lithology and slope are the preliminary determinants of surface water functioning at the watershed scale (Mesa 2006, Machiwal and Jha 2014).
This study describes an important feedback between trail use and drainage systems where trails progressively migrate upslope of degraded stream crossings and points of channel initiation, thus expanding the drainage network and altering watershed functioning.
They are the upper and lower Solomon Creek watershed, the Pine Creek watershed, the Spring Run watershed, and the Sugar Notch Run watershed.
The SMAF analysis indicated soils within the watershed were functioning at 87% of their full potential.
This study explored how precipitation variation (PV) and land use/land cover (LULC) changes caused by multiple disturbances can cumulatively impact ecosystem functioning in the Chenyulan watershed in central Taiwan.
All that has been lost along the coastline south of Alaska remains fully functioning in the Bristol Bay watershed.
To segment an object from the background, the edges of the object are detected using a magnitude gradient function and watershed techniques.
Total phosphorus loads were more closely related to disturbance indicators at a smaller spatial extent (1000 m canal buffer), which is a function of watershed nutrient transport processes.
In this method, after polishing and quality control of images, using city-block distance function and watershed segmentation algorithm, pores and throats are detected and 3-D network is produced.
For the largest storm events, we found that sediment delivery exhibited similar clockwise hysteresis patterns among the watersheds, with no significant differences in the similarity function between watershed pairs, indicating that: (1) in-stream and near-stream sediment sources drive sediment flux; and (2) the shape and timing of hysteresis is not affected by MAR.
