MonamiMark/uslecn-abm-erosion: v1.1.0 — Reproducible code and materials for "A runoff-weighted topographic factor for soil erosion modelling in heterogeneous landscapes: correcting land-cover-driven flow accumulation bias" paper
Abstract
Summary This release provides the first fully reproducible snapshot of code and materials accompanying the manuscript: Bednář, M., Šarapatka, B. (2026). A runoff-weighted topographic factor for soil erosion modelling in heterogeneous landscapes: correcting land-cover-driven flow accumulation bias. Ecological Informatics [in review]. Main features Python scripts to generate synthetic DEMs (plane/convex/concave) and flow patterns (parallel/divergent/convergent) at 5×5 m resolution. Python scripts to generate land-use strip patterns with configurable width (25–250 m) and orientation (0–90°). NetLogo 6.4 ABM implementation to compare LS estimation in classical USLE vs. modified USLE–CN (runoff-ratio-based flow accumulation). Reproducible parameters and workflows documented in docs/ (ODD protocol, parameters.md). Repository structure python/: synthetic DEM and land-use generation; requirements.txt netlogo/: ABM model (.nlogo) and usage notes docs/: model description (ODD), parameter specifications data/: example outputs and links to public DEM sources LICENSE: MIT; manuscript/data: CC-BY-4.0 Reproducibility Python 3.8+; see python/requirements.txt NetLogo 6.4+ Coordinate ref.: EPSG:5514; ASC headers included Deterministic generation where applicable; random seeds documented in scripts (if used) What's included in v1.0.0 python/generate_synthetic_dems.py python/generate_landuse.py netlogo/usle_abm_model.nlogo docs/ODD_protocol.md, docs/parameters.md example outputs in data/example_outputs/ README.md updated with Quick Start Licensing Code: MIT Manuscript and associated data: CC BY 4.0 How to cite If you use this code, please cite: Bednář, M., 2025. uslecn-abm-erosion.
