High-resolution canopy fuel maps based on GEDI: a foundation for wildfire modeling in Germany by Johannes Heisig, Milutin Milenković, Edzer Pebesma

“…Instead of using field measurements, we generate (GEDI-) footprint-level estimates for canopy (Base) height (CH, CBH), cover (CC), bulk density (CBD), and fuel load (CFL) by segmenting airborne Light Detection and Ranging point clouds and processing tree-level metrics with allometric crown biomass models. To predict footprint-level canopy fuels we fit and tune Random Forest models, which are cross-validated using k -fold nearest neighbor distance matching. …”

Reasonable Support Parameters for Loess Tunnel Under Different Water Contents: A Case Study by Hao Chen, Yanbin Luo, Jianxun Chen, Hui Chen, Yanfeng Li, Pengkun Wang, Lele Guo

“…The research findings indicate that the strength of the surrounding rock is functionally related to its water content, with the cohesive force <i>c</i> exhibiting an exponential relationship and the angle of internal friction <i>φ</i> showing a linear relationship, and that the cohesive force <i>c</i> is more affected by changes in water content than the internal friction angle <i>φ</i>. The crown settlement of the loess tunnel exceeds the horizontal convergence, and the deformation behavior can be categorized into three distinct stages: rapid growth, continuous growth, and slow growth. …”
