A land treatment unit (LTU) is a location in which land is treated, usually through bioremediation processes, to reduce the toxicity of the soil. Land treatment units are areas where hazardous waste is applied or incorporated into the soil surface. Land treatment units are typically units consisting of natural soils where natural biological and ...
Land change modeling is useful to explore spatial land systems, uses, and covers. Land change modeling can account for complexity within dynamics of land use and land cover by linking with climatic, ecological, biogeochemical, biogeophysical and socioeconomic models. Additionally, LCMs are able to produce spatially explicit outcomes according ...
The National Center for Atmospheric Research Land Surface Model (LSM) is a unidimensional computational model developed by Gordon Bonan that describes ecological processes joined in many ecosystem models, hydrological processes found in hydrological models and flow of surface common in surface models using atmospheric models.
Subsurface flow systems have the advantage of requiring less land area for water treatment than surface flow. However, surface flow wetlands can be more suitable for wildlife habitat. For urban applications the area requirement of a subsurface flow constructed wetland might be a limiting factor compared to conventional municipal wastewater ...
Landfarming is an ex situ waste treatment process that is performed in the upper soil zone or in biotreatment cells. Contaminated soils , sediments , or sludges are transported to the landfarming site, mixed into the soil surface and periodically turned over ( tilled ) to aerate the mixture. [ 1 ]
Information flow in the CLUE-S /Dyna-CLUE model (overview) [9] The Dyna-CLUE (dynamic conversion of land use and its effects) model is the adapted version of CLUE-S model, built upon the combination of the top-down approach of spatial allocation of land-use change and bottom-up approach of specification of conversions for specific land-use alterations.
The application of sewage to land is both: a type of treatment and a type of final disposal. [4]: 189 It leads to groundwater recharge and/or to evapotranspiration. Land application include slow-rate systems, rapid infiltration, subsurface infiltration, overland flow. It is done by flooding, furrows, sprinkler and dripping.
Land change science is a recently developed field, which emerged in conjunction with the advancement of climate change and global environmental change research, and is important to the evolution of climate change science and adaptation.
