WEPPcloud-(Un)Disturbed for United States

The WEPPcloud-Disturbed allows users to upload a burn severity map and predict erosion based on fire severity. Optionally, the user can forgo uploading a burn severity map to model unburned conditions. It uses SSURGO to create 7778 soils and NLCD to parameterize landuse for unburned conditions. For fire and treatment conditions soils and managements are procedurally generated and parameterized from the disturbed database based on soil texture and landuse. This allowing forests, shrubs, and grass to be burned based on landuse. The parameterization is intended to provide meaningful comparisons between unburned, burned, and treatment conditions. In the long-term disturbed is envisioned to replace the WEPPcloud-PEP interface.
This interface also incorporates the Wildfire Ash Transport And Risk estimation tool (WATAR).

WEPPcloud-Revegetation for United States

The WEPPcloud-Revegetation allows users to upload a burn severity map and use historic vegetative cover data from RAP to model post-fire hydrology and erosion.
The WEPPcloud-Revegetation allows users to upload a Soil Burn Severity map and use historical vegetative cover data from the Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) to model streamflow and soil erosion both before and after a fire. This interface also supports the modeling of stochastic wildfires and their subsequent recovery. Users can specify a cover transformation that describes the recovery of perennial, annual, shrub, and tree covers following the simulated fire.

WEPPcloud-EU

WEPPcloud for Europe.

Managements are assigned based on ESDAC landuses. Soils are built from ESDAC and EU-SoilHydroGrids data. U.S. climate stations are selected based on E-OBS monthly precip and temperatures.

The PeP interfaces provide post fire erosion modeling and ash transport modeling. Parameterizes soils based on burn severity and soil texture using Disturbed WEPP soil files. The PeP interface incorporates the Wildfire Ash Transport And Risk estimation tool (WATAR).

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 10100389.

WEPPcloud

Run WEPP anywhere in the continental U.S.

Legacy interface. From 2021 we recommend users to switch to WEPPcloud-US instead of WEPP-PEP. WEPP-PEP is limited to four general soils based on textures. WEPPcloud-Disturbed incorporates spatial variability in soils from SSURGO/STATSGO data bases. A full comparison between the two interfaces has not been made, however, WEPPcloud-US for undisturbed conditions has been successfully validated in multiple watersheds in Western US. Elevation data is from the USGS National Elevation Set. This interface uses TOPAZ for watershed delineation. The soils are built using SURGO/STATSGO. Landcover is selected based on the USGS National Landcover dataset. Climates are generated from the CLIGEN database.

This interface has been deprecated. For new projects run (Un)Disturbed without a burn severity map.

WEPPcloud-PEP w/ WATAR

The WEPPcloud Post-Fire Erosion Prediction (PEP) allows users to upload a burn severity map and predict erosion based on fire severity. Legacy interface. From 2021 we recommend users to switch to WEPPcloud-US instead of WEPP-PEP. WEPP-PEP is limited to four general soils based on textures. WEPPcloud-Disturbed incorporates spatial variability in soils from SSURGO/STATSGO data bases. A full comparison between the two interfaces has not been made, however, WEPPcloud-US for undisturbed conditions has been successfully validated in multiple watersheds in Western US. Soil textures are identified from SSURGO. Unburned conditions are assigned 2006.2 forest soils and managements based on soil texture. Burned areas are assigned burned soils and managements based on soil texture.
The PeP interface incorporates the Wildfire Ash Transport And Risk estimation tool (WATAR).
