Shallow landsliding and catchment connectivity within the Houpoto Forest, New Zealand. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Active landslides and their contribution to catchment connectivity have been investigated within the Houpoto Forest, North Island, New Zealand. The aim was to quantify the proportion of buffered versus coupled landslides and explore how specific physical

The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.

Comparison and Evolution of Extreme Rainfall-Induced Landslides in Taiwan

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
This study analyzed the characteristics of, and locations prone to, extreme rainfall-induced landslides in three watersheds in Taiwan, as well as the long-term evolution of landslides in the Laonong River watershed (LRW), based on multiannual landslide ...

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

Distribution of large- and medium-scale loess landslides induced by the Haiyuan Earthquake in 1920 based on field investigation and interpretation of satellite images

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2022
Studying the distribution law and influencing factors of coseismic landslides has important scientific significance and engineering value for understanding the mechanism of seismic landslides and predicting the occurrence of seismic landslides.

Insight into the Characteristics and Triggers of Loess Landslides during the 2013 Heavy Rainfall Event in the Tianshui Area, China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The 2013 heavy rainfall event (from June to July) in the Tianshui area triggered the most serious rainfall-induced group-occurring landslides since 1984, causing extensive casualties and economic losses.

Improving predictive power of physically based rainfall-induced shallow landslide models: a probabilistic approach

open access: yes, 2014
Distributed models to forecast the spatial and temporal occurrence of rainfall-induced shallow landslides are based on deterministic laws. These models extend spatially the static stability models adopted in geotechnical engineering, and adopt an ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Identification and Analysis of Landslides in the Ahai Reservoir Area of the Jinsha River Basin Using a Combination of DS-InSAR, Optical Images, and Field Surveys

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
We employed ascending and descending Sentinel-1A, optical image data, and field investigation methods to identify and monitor landslides in the Jinsha River Basin to overcome the difficulties associated with the use of a single method and its ...
