Quantifying the effect of forests on frequency and intensity of rockfalls

open access: yes, 2017
. Forests serve as a natural means of protection against small rockfalls. Due to their barrier effect, they reduce the intensity and the propagation probability of falling rocks and thus reduce the occurrence frequency of a rockfall event for a given ...
