Shallow-landslide stability evaluation in loess areas according to the Revised Infinite Slope Model: a case study of the 7.25 Tianshui sliding-flow landslide events of 2013 in the southwest of the Loess Plateau, China [PDF]
The occurrence of shallow loess landslides induced by prolonged heavy rainfall is prevalent in loess-dominated regions, often leading to property damage, human casualties, and sediment pollution.

Biotic controls on shallow translational landslides [PDF]
ABSTRACTIn undisturbed tropical montane rainforests massive organic layers accommodate the majority of roots and only a small fraction of roots penetrate the mineral soil. We investigated the contribution of vegetation to slope stability in such environments by modifying a standard model for slope stability to include an organic layer with distinct ...

Introducing SlideforMAP: a probabilistic finite slope approach for modelling shallow-landslide probability in forested situations [PDF]
Shallow landslides pose a risk to infrastructure and residential areas. Therefore, we developed SlideforMAP, a probabilistic model that allows for a regional assessment of shallow-landslide probability while considering the effect of different ...

Accelerating Effect of Vegetation on the Instability of Rainfall-Induced Shallow Landslides
Rainfall-induced shallow landslides are widespread throughout the world, and vegetation is frequently utilized to control them. However, in recent years, shallow landslides have continued to frequently occur during the rainy season on the vegetated ...

Influence mechanism of vegetation infiltration effect on shallow landslides of granite residual soil
The landslides induced by typhoons and rainstorms in Southern China are often shallow, fluidized and clustered. A large number of investigations have shown that vegetation infiltration has a significant impact on the formation of granite residual soil ...

Regional test of a model for shallow landsliding [PDF]
Landslides mapped in 14 watershed analyses in Oregon and Washington provide a regional test of a model for shallow landsliding. A total of 3224 landslides were mapped in watersheds covering 2993 km2 and underlain by a variety of lithologies, including Tertiary sedimentary rocks of the Coast Ranges, volcanic rocks of the Cascade Range and Quaternary ...

What does landslide triggering rainfall mean? [PDF]
Landslide-triggering rainfall thresholds are often subject to both false negatives (landslides where none are expected) and false positives (no landslides despite thresholds being exceeded).

Shallow landslides on slopes covered by trees are often the result of the coaction of heavy rainfall and strong winds under extreme weather, such as severe convection or typhoons.
