Not logged in The conversion of forests and sparsely vegetative areas to agricultural land and rural settlements is closely associated with the increasing anthropogenic activities due to population growth, tourism, movement of heavy vehicles for mining and other economic activities. In forested landscapes there is a distinct vegeta-, tive difference between landslides and the sur-, rounding forest. She died on the 30th of April 2008 after a brief, environment, it is costly for natural resources, and, yet it is essential for ecosystem cycling in the natural, The purpose of this paper is to provide a back-, ground and frame work for Session 8, on the envir-, onmental impact of landslides at the First World. Back-channels are, developed as the streamflows adjust laterally to, bypass the jam. Submarine landslides: Advances and challenges: Canadian Geotechnical Journal 39, 193–212. relation to the size of the stream is important. 2002. Still, while not all the landslides can be dated, the methodology that we describe can be applied to increase the spatial density of the relative chronology. Sometimes the effects can last for thousands of years. Wright, J.P., Jones, C.G., Flecker, A.S. 2002. TRB, National Research Council, Washington, DC, pp. Miles, D.W.R., Swanson, F.J., Youngberg, C.T.

Montgomery, D.R., Massong, T.M., Hawley, S.C.S. 2002. The extent of spatial landscape changes occurred in different LULC classes was performed through the cross-tabulation change matrix in the GIS module up to the individual village level. Thus materials, exposed in the surface of the landslide had soils, highly variable in pH and soil chemistry, depending, on whether surficial material or deeper material, covered the ground surface. Soil Science Society of America Journal 48. The rockfall impact in combination with the net vertical crust al uplift of about 1 meter and an overall tilting seaward of the entire crustal block on which Lituya Bay was situated, generated a solitary gravity wave which swept the main body of the bay. Eden, W.J., Fletcher, E.B., Mitchell, R.J. 1971. found that, on the Queen Charlotte Islands BC. When a part of a cliff or the origin of the landslide breaks off, it engulfs everything that goes in its path, so this is why erosion was a significant environmental impact in the Thredbo landslide. Another environmental impact of the landslide was that there was a loss of topsoil. The impact of landslides can be attributed to a wide range of phenomenon such as deforestation, habitat loss of human and wild lives, soil loss, disruption of roads and constructions, and flooding in specific cases, ... Landslides are global geohazards that are responsible for substantial death and injury [1], as well as damage to the natural and built environment. Swanson, F.J., Kratz, T.K., Caine, N., Woodmansee, R.G. 2004. El componente social incorporó la percepción social de amenazas locales, esto permitió clasificar y visualizar peligros, amenazas, riesgos y factores subyacentes de riesgos; por último dentro del componente biótico se realizaron inventarios de fauna y flora que posibilitaron generar una propuesta de conservación comunitaria, anclada dentro del corredor biológico Garcimuñoz. Landslides and debris. Poor water quality is, thought to be linked to landslide activity in water-, sheds above drinking water reservoirs. Sensitive instruments installed on and near the slow-moving landslide in Maca, Peru, have allowed scientists to observe the response of the landslide to earthquakes: information that can help researchers predict hazards from other slow-moving landslides in the region and perhaps around the world. Natural disturbance ecology. Swanson, F.J., Gregory, S.V., Sedell, J.R., Cambell, A.G. 1982. Overview of the effects of mass wasting on the natural environment, Geological Society of America, Environmental & Engineering Geoscience 8, 25–44. This rockfall acted as a monolith, and thus resembling an asteroid, impacted with great force the bottom of Gilbert Inlet. ... Lahar (volcanic ash slide) Debris flow Elias and Dias (2009. Hull, J.C., Scott, R.C. However, they are essential for ecosystem cycling in the natural environment. Costa, J.E., Schuster, R.L. 1994. Pearson Higher Education AU. They can be retrogres-, sive, progressive, advancing or enlarging, move, along planar or curved surfaces, and be shallow or, deep. Destruc-, tion and disturbance is costly for the built, British Columbia Forest Service, British Columbia, Canada. The ecological role that landslides play is often overlooked.

Landslide are incredibly destructive, they modify the landscape and disturb the surrounding environment. 2003.

Furthermore a threshold, maturity stage, in which trees become able to, stabilize landslide prone sites and postpone a, possible disturbance, together with great longevity, are seen as major factors making kauri a ‘land-, Isakbek Torgoev (Scientific Engineering Center, The vast majority of natural and/or man-made, catastrophes on the territory of Kyrgyzstan are, triggered by earthquakes and mass gravitational, movements on mountain slopes in the form of ava-, lanches, landslides and mudflows. Landslides affect the following elements of the environment: (1) the topography of the earth’s surface; (2) the character and quality of rivers and streams and groundwater flow; (3) the forests that cover much of the earth’s surface; and (4) the habitats of natural wildlife that exist on the earth’s surface, including its rivers, lakes, and oceans. Smith et al. Costa, J.E., Schuster, R.L. 1988. In both instances, changes to site also, An important influence of landslides on soil is, the change in texture. A landslide, sometimes known as landslip, slope failure or slump, is an uncontrollable downhill flow of rock, earth, debris or the combination of the three. found in sediments downstream of the landslide. The landslides, which are near the man-made structures such as road, villages and dam, were called human-induced landslides. and initiate the formation of in-stream log jams.

After approximately 50 years, the log jams are sufficiently deteriorated to no, longer interrupt sediment transport. Conservation biology principles for forested landscapes. Landslides are caused by combination of natural and human factors, while landslides, in return, devastate large area under forests, grassland or bare land, which is the loss […] Landslides and debris flows triggered by the 6 June 1994 Paez earthquake, southwestern Colombia: Landslide News, Japan Landslide Society, No. 1992. They distinguished 8 vegetation, groups on 49 landslides. The, dams introduce a tremendous amount of new, ment load to streams. structure and higher porosity than underlying tills. Journal of Tropical Ecology 13, 165–173. The Mana valley consists of two major centres of religious tourism, i.e., Badrinath Puri and Govind Dham. Presence of huge sediment load in the stream makes this area more prone to landslides (Plate 7.9). Removal of forest cover impacts wildlife habita, The ecological role that landslides play is often overlooked. Vegetation composition, on recent landslides in the Cascade Mountains of western. Discussion with various scientists of Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology suggests that the head-weight of pine tree is very high and wherever the pine is found on steep slopes, landslides are likely to take place in monsoons, if other conditions are favourable. The mean annual sediment production from unpaved roads has ranged from 0.4 to 6.7 kg m-2 yr-1, and this variation is largely due to differences in the amount and intensity of summer precipitation. Ecology 40, 692–703. The changes in land-cover to land use classes are more prominent in Samalta Dadauli, Nithala, Bhugtari, and Udapalta villages located between Kalsi and Sahiya town. Loss of vegetation due to avalanches was very common but no evidence of loss of animals was found. New York, pp. and contains den sites for a variety of mammals.
