Shallow landslides and vegetation at the catchment scale: A perspective

Chris Phillips et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the impact of shallow, rainfall-triggered landslides on catchment processes and river network sediment, emphasizing the role of forests and trees in reducing hazard. While root reinforcement plays a significant role in stabilizing slopes, the complexity of shallow landslide occurrence limits the effectiveness of vegetation in reducing landslides.

Landslide risk management in Hong Kong

Raymond W. M. Cheung

Summary: The combination of dense urban development, hilly terrain, and intense seasonal rainfall has led to severe landslide problems in Hong Kong, resulting in a need for a comprehensive risk management strategy. This strategy involves engineering and non-engineering approaches, encompassing policy, legislative, innovation, technology, education, and other measures. Implementing these methods, such as the slope safety system, can effectively manage landslide risks and aim to build Hong Kong as a world-class smart city.

Integrated impacts of vegetation and soil type on slope stability: A case study of Kheyrud Forest, Iran

Mohsen Emadi-Tafti et al.

Summary: This study utilized an integrated 2D numerical model to examine the mechanical effects of vegetation and soil type on slope stability. The results showed that vegetation can prevent shallow landslides but has limited impact on deep landslides. The ratio of root zone depth to the depth of slide is a key parameter in enhancing slope stability through vegetation.

Slow recovery from soil disturbance increases susceptibility of high elevation forests to landslides

Hongxi Liu et al.

Summary: Natural hazards like shallow landslides are common in disturbing soil and damaging forests. Plant roots play a crucial role in reducing the window of susceptibility for new disturbance events on unstable hillslopes. Research shows that thicker, long-lived roots contribute more to soil reinforcement than finer, short-lived roots, especially during the recovery process. In high elevation closed forests, seasonal soil water dynamics may result in vulnerable hotspots, highlighting the need for careful monitoring on steep or unstable slopes, especially after disturbances.

A new method for calculating failure probability of landslide based on ANN and a convex set model

S. H. Li et al.

Summary: Calculating the failure probability of landslides is crucial in engineering, and a new method using a convex set model and artificial neural network (ANN) has been proposed in this study. The new method was successfully applied to calculate the failure probability of the Gufenping landslide in Sichuan, China, with results confirming its accuracy and efficiency compared to conventional methods. The main factor affecting landslide stability was identified as the average internal friction angle through sensitivity analysis.
