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.
These results indicate that gently-sloping hollow areas with rapidly recovering vegetation have the potential to reduce the flood and sediment risk.
The hypothesis was tested by water balance simulations comparing uniform with hillslope position-specific crop and root growths for soils at plateau, flat mid slope, steep slope, and hollow using the Hydrus-1D program.
When Roam talks about the millions of parents who spend the first 20 minutes of their day erasing unsolicited pornography e-mail messages to their children, his colleague's perfunctory Hollywood liberal rebuttal about slippery slopes sounds hollow.
Our 'digital ancestor' By computer modelling the available fossil data, researchers have concluded that our long-lost "pre-split" common ancestor had a large protruding nose, prominent broad brow ridges, hollow cheeks and a sloping forehead.
"What [the club industry] thinks is a victory for them is in fact a very hollow victory, a gently sloping speed bump in the ever-accelerating trend of dancers being considered employees".
On gently sloping terrain, wetlands occur at broad hollows and points of flow convergence with organic soils and dense vegetation atop permafrost, both of which make soils resistant to initiation of channelized flow.
The figures slumped beneath these cavernous vaults in Mooreish poses – sloping legs and supporting arms protruding from mounded bodies with broad, hollow laps – represent at bottom an unheroic civilian vision of war's passivity, helplessness and squalor.
We skirted the town and turned south-east past Melbury Down, then climbed again, up Zig-Zag hill, a series of dramatic hairpin bends of alpine severity that take you up briefly into Wiltshire and to one of those high spaces where the extent of rounded slopes and hollows stretching away on either side gives you the sense of being on top of the world.
