Soil plays a crucial role in ecosystem functioning. In the 1990s ecosystem services (ES)
research focused on developing the concept and framework and only a few studies linked …

Rainfall is one of the most significant triggering factors for slope failures in many regions
around the world. Numerous research studies have been conducted to investigate infiltration …

Unsaturated soil mechanics has rapidly become a part of geotechnical engineering practice
as a result of solutions that have emerged to a number of key problems (or challenges). The …

The effects of Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) roots on the soil-water retention
curves (SWRCs), permeability (k) function, and saturated permeability, k sat, have been …

Rainfall-induced landslides pose a significant threat to the public safety in many parts of the
world especially in tropical or subtropical mountainous areas. The research field of …

Rainfall induced landslides vary in depth and the deeper the landslide, the greater the
damage it causes. This paper investigates, quantitatively, the risk of rainfall induced …

Understanding how rainfall events influence the pattern and magnitude of landslide
response is an important research focus from geomorphological and hazard planning …

The linear form of the extended Mohr–Coulomb shear strength equation uses a ϕ b
parameter to quantify the rate of increase in shear strength relative to matric suction. When …

Collapsing gully erosion, a special erosion phenomenon in the hilly granitic regions, is an
important factor responsible for the deterioration of the ecological environment in southern …

The significance of rainfall pattern in the assessment of rainfall-induced landslide is widely
recognized. However, much work so far is limited to several simplified typical rainfall …
