The effects of vegetation traits and their stability functions in bio-engineered slopes: A perspective review
S Bordoloi, CWW Ng - Engineering Geology, 2020 - Elsevier
Bio-engineered slopes use vegetation as “live” protection elements against the triggering
forces of landslides, erosions and debris flows. In this paper, the effects of basic plant traits …

Protective effects of forests against gravitational natural hazards
In this chapter, we give a short overview of the protective effects of forests against snow
avalanches, landslides and rockfall hazards in mountain areas. The overview is based on …

Parameterization of rockfall source areas and magnitudes with ecological recorders: when disturbances in trees serve the calibration and validation of simulation runs
On forested talus slopes which have been build up by rockfall, a strong interaction exists
between the trees and the falling rocks. While the presence and density of vegetation have a …

Managing coppice forests for rockfall protection: lessons from modeling
Context One eighth of Europe's forests are still managed as coppice. In some European
countries, more than half of the forest exhibits coppice structures from the past or present …

Analysis of the effect of trees on block propagation using a DEM model: implications for rockfall modelling
The objective of this research was to use numerical models based on mechanical
approaches to improve the integration of the protective role of forests against rockfall into …

Potential of two submontane broadleaved species (Acer opalus, Quercus pubescens) to reveal spatiotemporal patterns of rockfall activity
Long-term records of rockfalls have proven to be scarce and typically incomplete, especially
in increasingly urbanized areas where inventories are largely absent and the risk associated …
