Future R&D efforts will provide tools that will make these tasks easier by providing geospatially referenced estimates of
FT impacts on soil properties. Soil erosion and bank failure models applied in FT-susceptible zones must have the following
capabilities:
1.
Defines relationships of seasonal changes in soil moisture and strength with the number of FT cycles, the depth of
ground frost, and the antecedent soil moisture conditions; and
2.
Adjusts seasonal erodibility coefficients compatible with the field data obtained above.
