Natural mountains and valleys are gradually eroded by rainfall and river flows. Physically-
based modeling of this complex phenomenon is a major concern in producing realistic …

Aging phenomena often play a key role in realistic rendering: excepting when the desired
result is specifically a brand-new virtual object, their absence can lead to non-realistic …

It is a well-known fact that soil degradation is dramatically increasing and currently threatens
agricultural soils all around the world. The objective of this study was to reveal the possible …

The present study investigated the interaction of wind and rain (WDR) on splash and interril
erosions under laboratory conditions. The corresponding experiments were carried out with …

The drastic growth of population in highly industrialized urban areas, as well as fossil fuel
use, is increasing levels of airborne pollutants and enhancing acid rain. In rapidly …

Originally, cellular automata (CA) have been defined upon regular tessellations of the n-
dimensional Euclidean space, while CA on irregular tessellations have received only little …

This paper presents an application of a cellular automaton-based run-off model (RUICELLS)
to a series of small dry valleys in the Seine-Maritime department, northern France, to better …

Although cellular automata (CAs) were conceptualized as utter discrete mathematical
models in which the states of all their spatial entities are updated simultaneously at every …

Rill erosion has serious impacts on arable soils in Chinese Loess Plateau. It is imperative to
clarify the key processes of rill erosion to implement effective soil conservation practices. In …

Rainfall duration is among the most effective characteristics of erosivity factor on runoff,
splash and soil loss, especially when a rainfall duration is selected for laboratory or field plot …
