Controls on shallow landslide size
Most distributed slope-stability models for shallow landslide prediction neglect the forces acting on the sidewalls of landslide scars. Back-calculations and field observations, however, show that lateral root strength is a primary control on size and location of shallow landslides in soil mantled hillslopes. Here we report a theory that estimates landslide width, assuming that root strength ac...
متن کاملPredicting Shallow Landslide Initiation
The growing availability of digital topographic data and the increased reliability of precipitation forecasts invite modelling efforts to predict the timing and location of shallow landslides in hilly and mountainous areas in order to reduce risk to an ever-expanding human population. Here, we exploit a rare data set to develop and test such a model. In a 1·7 km catchment a near-annual aerial p...

متن کاملEvaluation of the Impacts of Marine Salts and Asian Dust on the Forested Yakushima Island Ecosystem, a World Natural Heritage Site in Japan
To elucidate the influence of airborne materials on the ecosystem of Japan's Yakushima Island, we determined the elemental compositions and Sr and Nd isotope ratios in streamwater, soils, vegetation, and rocks. Streamwater had high Na and Cl contents, low Ca and HCO(3) contents, and Na/Cl and Mg/Cl ratios close to those of seawater, but it had low pH (5.4 to 7.1), a higher Ca/Cl ratio than seaw...
متن کاملSlope Length Effects on Soil Loss for Steep Slopes
cients. Normalizing to a unit plot of length 22.13 m, both the USLE and RUSLE use the equation Empirical soil erosion models continue to play an important role in soil conservation planning and environmental evaluations around L 5 (l/22.13) [2] the world. The effect of hillslope length on soil loss, often termed the where L is soil loss normalized to the 22.13-m-long slope length factor, is one...
