The results show that in the studied scaling range different types of landscapes and profiles in different directions perform different fractal properties,that is,the D value and crossover length tc decrease in turns with the landform type from high-moutain,mid-low mountain to basin,and the ...
Each view emphasizes a different feature or dimension of the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas. Some are focused on the terrain and topography of the cliff faces and slopes. Others seek to highlight the ecological characteristics of landforms, ecosystems, and forest types to categorize the landsca...
The unique terrain characteristics of a particular landscape are derived from DEM, which are responsible for initiation and development of ephemeral gullies. As the topographic features of an area significantly influences on the erosive power of the water flow, it is an important task the extraction...
Water-induced erosion of iron tailings is a serious problem affecting ecological restoration, but, little is known about how the occurrence of erosion on tailings slopes and types of reclaimed substrates that are beneficial to reducing slope erosion. This study measured the slope erosion characteristics...

Many studies have calculated also the concentrations of organic carbon in top-soils in different karst landscapes (e.g., Liu et al., 2013, Yang et al., 2019). Li et al. (2015) considered land use changes and investigated soil organic carbon (SOC) and total Nitrogen (TN) in cropland,...
in both landscapes. Given two post-mining landscapes subjected to different ages of reclamation, clear differences in vegetation growth and LCC pattern would occur. At early stages of restoration, LCTs often have unstable conditions and experience more acute transformation depending on the level of ...
and cultivated steep slope landscapes (e.g., Belayneh et al.2019a; Bewket and Teferi2009; Haregeweyn et al.2017; Mekuriaw et al.2018). Field measurement-based studies also reported an average erosion rate of 31–37 t ha−1 year−1(Subhatu et al.2017). The rates are much...

The new toolbox allowed us to extract 48 landform classes, and refined the typology of landform features in different natural landscapes, from a geomorphological point of view. The landforms classification and the morphometry of six different selected sites pertained to volcanic areas, mountain ridges...
