Article
Full-text available
Topography strongly regulates soil formation at the hillslope scale through its effects on sediment redistribution and biological activities. Spatially explicit land surface parameters (LSPs) such as slope and curvature hold potential for modeling the resulting soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) distributions, but their representation of deep soil pr...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Future directives on soils data will be imposed by specialists outside the realm of soil science • Modern demands require spatially explicit information linking properties to processes • Geospatial methods that quantify soil-landscape variability are dominantly 'bottom-up' statistical aggregations while underlying soil-landscape paradigm is process...
Article
Fine particles entrained in storm-water runoff are likely to pass through storm-water treatment basins because of their slow settling velocities and the natural biotic and abiotic mixing processes common to ponds and basins. In Lake Tahoe, targeting fine particles <20 mu m in diameter is critical to abating turbidity and phosphorus inputs dispropor...
Article
This study investigates the dynamic nature of rainfall observed at the Sustainable Agriculture Farming Systems (SAFS) site in California's Sacramento Valley, which was established to study the benefits of winter cover cropping in Mediterranean irrigated-arid systems. Rainfall data of four different temporal scales (i.e. daily, weekly, biweekly, and...
