Sentence examples for hydrologic stability from inspiring English sources

Overall, the results document compromised hydrologic stability attributable to urbanization during a period with no detectable change in rainfall patterns.

The accrual (colonization plus growth) of benthic algal biomass is a function of nutrients, light, and temperature, whereas hydrologic stability and grazing control the process of biomass loss (Biggs 1996a).

The study broadly identified and classified the indicators and attributes of land degradation into soil and site stability, hydrologic function and biotic integrity.

We propose that vegetation composition monitoring be combined with one or more ecological process indicators reflecting changes in three fundamental ecosystem attributes on which restoration success depends: soil and site stability, hydrologic function and biotic integrity.

To address this need, we evaluated soil macro invertebrate communities and soil-based ecosystem services (climate regulation, hydrologic functions, soil stability provided by macro aggregation and nutrient provision potential) in four major production systems: improved pastures, annual crops (rice, corn and soy bean), oil palm and rubber plantations, and compared them to the original savanna.

The objective of this study was to assess how landform stability and hydrologic conditions (water availability) influenced pedogenesis in barrier island soils.

Then, it couples the hillslope hydrologic model with the infinite slope stability model to build a rainfall threshold model.

The model is specifically designed for the analysis of shallow landslide hazard by combining a steady state hydrologic model with a deterministic infinite slope stability model.

Some of these lakes are connected by streams in an entire unseen hydrologic plumbing network, a system that may affect the stability of the ice sheets.

Vanacker et al. (2003) proposed a methodology to investigate the effect of land use/land-cover change on slope movement susceptibility by incorporating specific hydrologic parameter estimates, in a simple process-based slope stability model.

SLOPEMAP can be applied to various tasks in geoscientific digital terrain analysis, like slope stability assessments, map scale structural analysis, the recognition of hydrologic flow paths, or geomorphological landscape analysis.
