摘要
Depression storage restrains overland flow and erosion. A technique for delimiting areas of depression storage from Digital Elevation Models (D.E.M.s) is described. Local and simple geomorphological features are defined, based upon the comparison of the elevation of each point with each of its neighbours. These features are mapped and the morphology of depression storage, connections and flow lines between the depressions are then accurately identified. The method is illustrated with an example from a field in which maize had just been harvested. D.E.M.s. in the form of altitude matrices were established by photogrammetry for plots of about 1 m2 at 1 cm spacing on square grids. The analysis of the D.E.M.s identified and delimited small storage depressions, some of which were isolated and others interconnected, in the middle of the spaces between the rows of the crop. © 1990.
