Modelling soil erosion requires an equation for predicting the sediment transport capacity by interrill overland flow on rough surfaces. This study therefore explores the possibility that inasmuch as surface roughness affects flow hydraulic
variables which, in turn, determine transport capacity, there may be one or more hydraulic variables which capture the effect of surface roughness on transport capacity sufficiently well for good predictions of transport capacity to be achieved from data
Beiträge zur Erfassung von Kapazität und Frequentierung der Naherholungsflächen in Stuttgart A model for measuring visitors capacity and frequency in the urban recreation areas of Stuttgart
The aim of this paper will be to analyse the planning of recreation areas in larger cities and urban surroundings and to show up some feasible ways of measuring capacity as well as estimating actual attendance figures. For this purpose a model has
been outlined. The three base components in this model, i.e. natural factors, infrastructural equipement and factors concerning location and accessibility are represented in diagrams. The two results, on the one hand the disparity between capacity
of urban recreation areas is nearly always impossible, to demand chances in capacity and attendance in already existing areas. (HSC).
Interspecific variation of bark water storage capacity of three deciduous tree species in relation to stemflow yield and solute flux to forest soils
The aim of this study is to couple bark water storage capacity with stemflow production and solute inputs to the forest floor, thereby illustrating the importance of stemflow generation and leaching of nutrient-ions to the geoecology of forest
ecosystems. Bark water storage capacity is linked with the geoecology of temperate deciduous forests because stemflow volume and soluble inputs are partly determined by bark water storage capacity.
Spatial patterns of ecological carrying capacity supply-demand balance in China at county level
Applied ecology ; Carrying capacity ; China ; Ecological footprint ; Geographical information system ; Index ; Spatial analysis ; Supply-demand balance
Firstly, the ecological supply and demand balance was calculated and evaluated, and secondly, the ecological carrying capacity index (ECCI) was derived for each county of China in 2007, and finally this paper systematically evaluated the ecological
carrying capacity supply-demand balance of China. The results showed that ecological deficit appeared to be the main characteristic of ecological carrying capacity supply-demand balance in 2007 of China at county scale. The spatial distribution
of the ecological carrying capacity demand-supply was unbalanced ranging from significant overloading to affluence from southeastern to northwestern part of China. It appeared to be more dominant in regions located at coastal areas which had a generally higher

Outdoor recreation in the Netherlands. II. A system to determine the planning capacity of outdoor recreation projects having varying daily attendance
Determination of planning capacity, based on the determination of the curve of day visits to a (new) outdoor recreation project, and the choice of the normative day and maximum momentary visit. For the calculation of the number of visits, some
Klimatické podmienky pre obilné kombajny o priechodnosti 8 az 10kgs na Slovensku Climatic conditions for the cereal combines with capacity of 8-10kg of grain per sec. in Slovakia
The main climatic conditions of the harvest season are estimated for the whole territory of Slovakia with regard to the more efficient combines with the capacity of 8 to 10kg of grain per sec. (MS).
Based on experiments in 2 flumes with fixed and mobile plane beds and previously published data, an equation is developed that may be used to predict bedload transport resistance for both capacity and non-capacity flows. The variables
with large storage capacity, dominance of sailboats, and incident facilities; marinas in the inner bay region, around Tokyo Bay, with small storage capacity, and simple facilities; the lake region, an area specializing in black bass fishing, with very small
Organic matter and wetting capacity distribution in aggregates of Chilean soils
The wetting capacity of Hapludands and Palchumults under grassland and forest in southern Chile was assessed by measuring contact angles of solid, water and air interfaces. The AA. analysed the effect of soil management on the spatial distribution
This study examines how the sediment transport capacity of interrill overland flow varies with stone cover and stone size at 2 flow intensities. 6 series of flume experiments were conducted on 2 slopes with stones of 3 sizes serving as roughness
Assessment of detachment and sediment transport capacity of runoff by field experiments on a silt loam soil
The aim of this study is to examine the detachment and transport capacity of runoff using rainfall simulations and overland flow experiments on small field plots. A simple regression equation was derived to estimate transport capacity (Tc) for both
Confronting momentum : mapping the social appraisals of an ‘inevitable’ motorway capacity expansion
By using an exemplary case of a project on motorway capacity expansion in the Netherlands, it was investigated how momentum was acknowledged by actors, but perhaps also resisted or sustained. The paper finds that actors were quite aware of momentum
, but that they largely refrained from resisting it as a result of the focus on impact mitigation in the deliberation. Furthermore, this focus sustained the necessity claim and underlying rationale for the motorway capacity expansion. However, the choice of whether

Das Weidepotential der tockenen Tropen, ermittelt mit Hilfe dynamischer Systemsimulation. (The carrying capacity of grazing in the arid tropics, studied by a dynamic computer model)
On the basis of existing verbal formulated theory, a dynamic computer model is developed to find out the maximum carrying capacity with regard to extensive grazing under arid-tropical conditions. By parsimonious construction, relations to few
but important parameters are set up. These are the mean annual precipitation which fixes a stochastic rainfall-generator as a driver, and the water storage capacity of the upper soil. Experiments with various stock densities within the range of these parameters
