Considerations of Vegetation and Snow Cover in the AFWA and UOC_Shao Dust Emission Schemes in WRF-Chem

Hi: :
I would like to ask a question. In the WRF-Chem model, there are dust emission estimation such as GOCART, AFWA, and UOC_Shao to choose from. It is already known that the GOCART scheme cannot dynamically account for changes in vegetation and snow cover. However, I have not yet found information on how the AFWA and UOC_Shao schemes consider vegetation and snow cover, so I would like to ask if there is any documentation supporting this.
Thank you very much.
