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 …

Abstract “Spatial contraindication” is what exactly landslide susceptibility models have been
seeking. They are designed for depicting perilous land activities, be it natural or …

Vegetation has been used as a means in geotechnical engineering for soil improvement
and erosion control. This paper aims to present a state-of-the-art review and future …

This study presents a landslide susceptibility assessment for the Caspian forest using
frequency ratio and index of entropy models within geographical information system. First …

In the last decades, soil bioengineering has gained considerable popularity worldwide,
especially in hillslope, riverbank, and earth embankment stabilisation works. The use of …

In many forestlands, such as Saravan Forest Park, the high capacity of soil detachment from
deforestation and subsequent ecological restoration are important issues that need detailed …

Vegetation restoration is identified as an effective approach to control soil erosion and
affects soil detachment and resistance to concentrated flow on the Loess Plateau. However …

This study proposes a new methodology for estimating the additional shear strength (or
cohesion) exerted by vegetation roots on slope stability analysis within a coupled …

The purpose of the current study is to produce landslide susceptibility maps using different
probabilistic and bivariate statistical approaches; namely, frequency ratio (FR), weights-of …

Purpose Root reinforcement is a key parameter in slope stability analysis, but is difficult to be
effectively included at the hillslope-scale due to the complexity of root systems. As a result …
