Spatial variability and temporal dynamics analysis of soil erosion due to military land use activities: uncertainty and implications for land management

Land Degradation and Development (2007)

G. Wang George Gertner Alan B. Anderson Heidi Howard Dick L. Gebhart

Abstract Human activities, such as military off‐road vehicular traffic, disturb ground and vegetation cover of landscapes and increase potential rainfall related runoff and soil erosion. On military lands, soil erosion is of major concern in order to sustain training lands and thus there is a need for land condition maps for planning training activities and land management. In this study, we presented a conditional co‐simulation algorithm to generate annual time series maps of soil erosion status from 1989 to 2001 for an army installation. The spatial variability and temporal dynamics of land condition were analyzed. This algorithm modeled soil erosion as realizations of a random function by combining a set of permanent plot data and Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images. In addition to estimation maps of soil erosion status, we obtained the maps of uncertainties including the variance of each pixel estimate and the probability of poor land condition. The results and maps are useful tools for land managers and decision‐makers to guide military training programs and to generate management plans for sustaining training lands.

Taxus tree-ring chronologies from southern England reveal western European hydroclimate changes over the past three centuries

Climate Dynamics (2025)

Tatiana Bebchuk Andy Moir Tito Arosio Alexander V. Kirdyanov Max C. A. Torbenson

Abstract Heatwaves and summer droughts across Europe are likely to intensify under anthropogenic global warming thereby affecting ecological and societal systems. To place modern trends and extremes in the context of past natural variability, annually resolved and absolutely dated climate reconstructions are needed. Here, we present a network of 153 yew ( Taxus baccata L.) tree-ring width (TRW) series from 22 sites in southern England that cover the past 310 years. Significant positive correlations were found between TRW chronologies and both April–July precipitation totals (r > 0.7) and July drought indices (r > 0.59) back to 1901 CE ( p < 0.05). We used a suite of residual and standard TRW chronologies to reconstruct interannual to multi-decadal spring–summer precipitation and mid-summer drought variability over western Europe, respectively. Our yew hydroclimate reconstructions capture the majority of reported summer droughts and pluvials back to 1710 CE. Clusters of severe drought spells occurred in the second half of the 18th and mid-twentieth century. Our study suggests that the frequency and intensity of recent hydroclimate extremes over western Europe are likely still within the range of past natural variability.

Nonfacility particulate matter issues in the Army - a comprehensive review

Michael R. Kemme Joyce C. Baird Dick L. Gebhart Matthew G. Hohmann Heidi Howard

Abstract : Particulate matter (PM) generated from Army nonfacility sources is a military-unique problem, and a significant source of air pollution. Army nonfacility sources include soil-based PM from training activities, prescribed burning, smoke and obscurant training, artillery practice, weapons impact testing, and open burning/open detonation. PM emissions may create legal, regulatory, ecological, and practical problems for the modem Army installation. It has the potential to limit or restrict time and frequency of training, to close ranges or completely shut down training exercises due to Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 (CAA1990) or threatened and endangered species (TES) compliance requirements. These problems will worsen with mission realignments, new weapon systems, encroachment, and increasing urbanization. This report reviews previous work in the areas of PM science, emission estimation, atmospheric modeling, atmospheric measurement, and dust control; investigates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's enforcement strategy for PM; and presents the results of a study to rank mass emissions of PM from U.S. Army nonfacility sources and installations. The results of this review will be used to help focus an R&D program in this area. It is also hoped that this review will be a valuable source of information for others interested in this area.
