Stress triggering of the Lushan M7. 0 earthquake by the Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake
The Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake and the Lushan M7. 0 earthquake occurred in the north and south segments of the Longmenshan nappe tectonic belt, respectively. Based on the focal mechanism and finite fault model of the Wenchuan Ms8.

Assessing Earthquake-Induced Tree Mortality in Temperate Forest Ecosystems: A Case Study from Wenchuan, China [PDF]
Earthquakes can produce significant tree mortality, and consequently affect regional carbon dynamics. Unfortunately, detailed studies quantifying the influence of earthquake on forest mortality are currently rare. The committed forest biomass carbon loss

Temporal variation of gravity field before and after Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake
Absolute and relative gravity data during 1998 to 2008 were used to study gravity field and temporal variation in the North–south seismic-belt region, and their correlation with seismic activities before and after Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake. The temporal

Unraveling Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity and Driving Mechanism of Vegetation Recovery in Co-Seismic Landslide Areas via Nonlinear Trajectories and Bayesian Networks. [PDF]
We developed an integrated GAM–Bayesian framework to diagnose the nonlinear recovery dynamics of vegetation in landslide‐affected areas. Our model reveals that most sites reached a key recovery inflection point within 5–7 years, with faster recovery occurring under warm, moist, and moderate light conditions.

Applying the Coulomb Failure Function with an optimally oriented plane to the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggering [PDF]
The Coulomb failure function (CFF) quantitatively describes static stress changes in secondary faults near the source fault of an earthquake. CFF can be employed to monitor how static stress transfers and then shed some light on the probability of ...
