Shallow landsliding, root reinforcement, and the spatial distribution of trees in the Oregon Coast Range Shallow landsliding, root reinforcement, and the spatial distribution of trees in the Oregon Coast Range
The influence of root reinforcement on shallow landsliding has been well established through mechanistic and empirical studies, yet few studies have examined how local vegetative patterns influence slope stability. Because root networks spread outward from trees, the species, size, and spacing of trees should influence the spatial distribution of root strength. We documented the...

The variability of root cohesion as an influence on shallow landslide susceptibility in the Oregon Coast Range The variability of root cohesion as an influence on shallow landslide susceptibility in the Oregon Coast Range
Decades of quantitative measurement indicate that roots can mechanically reinforce shallow soils in forested landscapes. Forests, however, have variations in vegetation species and age which can dominate the local stability of landslide-initiation sites. To assess the influence of this variability on root cohesion we examined scarps of landslides triggered during large storms in February...
