WEPP FuME Analysis for a North Idaho Site

Abstract

A computer interface has been developed to assist with analyzing soil erosion rates associated with fuel management activities. This interface uses the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model to predict sediment yields from hillslopes and road segments to the stream network. The simple interface has a large database of climates, vegetation files and forest soil properties to support this and other interfaces, including Disturbed WEPP for forests and WEPP:Road for road segment analyses. The soil databases for roads and disturbed forested hillslopes are based on rainfall simulation and natural rainfall studies.
