Abstract Abaca (Musa textilis Nee) is a fiber crop, closely related to banana (Musa sp.). However, it requires 15–18 months from transplanting to first harvest, leaving the soil between plants vulnerable to erosion or weed infestation. Integrating cover crops into abaca plantations may help mitigate these issues.

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Using a newly expanded debris‐flow inventory, we calibrate a new set of region‐specific logistic models for predicting the likelihood of, and rainfall thresholds for, runoff‐generated postfire debris flows. The updated models consistently outperform a previous model and can improve assessment of debris‐flow hazards for burned areas across the western ...

Numerical modelling of earthquake‐induced progressive rock slope damage in the paraglacial Serpentine valley, Prince William Sound, Alaska. Repeated seismicity generates rock mass damage that may have conditioned areas of the slope for failure during present‐day ice retreat.

ABSTRACT Landslides represent a recurring hazard in humid tropical regions, primarily driven by intense rainfall that weakens slope materials and reduces shear resistance. Vegetation is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution to improve near‐surface soil conditions; however, systematic field‐based hydro‐mechanical evidence from humid tropical ...

Effects of Different Classification Methods on Regional Landslide Susceptibility Zonation
Susceptibility zoning is the basic step of regional geological hazard risk assessment, and a reasonable classification method for the susceptibility levels is of significance for obtaining effective regional landslide susceptibility maps.

ABSTRACT Establishing scientifically grounded soil erosion control targets and feasible vegetation restoration strategies is crucial for high quality development of the Chinese Loess Plateau which is severely affected by soil erosion. Currently, the commonly used tolerable soil loss (TSL) is inadequate for addressing the spatial heterogeneity in ...

Grid units have limitations in accurately delineating the morphology and boundaries of slopes, and when used as mapping units in landslide susceptibility evaluation, they cannot accurately describe the landslide susceptibility of natural slopes ...

ABSTRACT This article investigates the characterization of cascading phenomena within sociotechnical systems through a systematic review and the development of a conceptual modelling framework. Cascading phenomena, often described using terms such as ripple effect, domino effect, cascading failure, risk propagation and cascading effect, capture the far‐
