Rainfall-initiated landslides continue to inflict damages and loss of life throughout the world.
Processes and mechanisms revealed from hydrological, geomorphic, geotechnical …

Vegetation cover is an important factor influencing the occurrence and movement of rainfall-
triggered landslides, and changes to vegetation cover often result in modified landslide …

In recent years, Iran has experienced many landslides due to high tectonic activity, and a
variety of geological and climatic conditions. This paper proposes a novel hybrid model …

Decades of quantitative measurement indicate that roots can mechanically reinforce shallow
soils in forested landscapes. Forests, however, have variations in vegetation species and …

Root tensile strength is an important factor to consider when choosing suitable species for
reinforcing soil on unstable slopes. Tensile strength has been found to increase with …

Forest management is a complex process that now incorporates information obtained from
many sources. It is increasingly obvious that the physiological status of the trees in a forest …

Shallow, rainfall-triggered landslides are an important catchment process that affect the rate
and calibre of sediment within river networks and create a significant hazard, particularly …

The presence of forests on hillslopes significantly reduces the slopes susceptibility to rainfall
triggered shallow landslides. This is due largely to the reinforcement of the hillslope soil by …

Forests have an important regulating function on water runoff and the occurrence of shallow
landslides. Their structure and composition directly influence the risk of hydrogeomorphic …

Root networks contribute to slope stability through complex interactions with soil that include
mechanical compression and tension. Due to the spatial heterogeneity of root distribution …
