  • Modelling root reinforcement in shallow forest soils

    Skaugset, Arne E.
    Abstract:
    A hypothesis used to explain the relationship between timber harvesting and landslides is that tree roots add mechanical support to soil, thus increasing soil strength. Upon harvest, the tree roots decay which reduces soil strength and increases the risk of management -induced landslides. The technical literature does not adequately support...
