Forest management to minimize landslide risk

Mass wasting is the dominant erosional process in most steep-sloped catchments. major mechanism in this process is the landslide (2, 6, 8, 19, 24, 25, 29). In this paper, unless explicitly stated to the contrary, the reference to debris avalanches and other forms of shallow failures

Predicting landslides related to clearcut logging, northwestern California, U.S.A.

Abstract - Landslides related to clearcut logging are a significant source of erosion in the mountains of northwestern California. Forest managers, therefore, frequently must include assessments of landslide risk in their land-use plans. A quantitative method is needed to predict such risk over large areas of rugged mountainous terrain. From air photographs, data...
