Abstract:
Trees can protect slopes from landslides, but can also be a risk factor. Rapid Landslide Mitigation Appraisal (RaLMA) explores local knowledge and the science of landslides and their relationship to trees. The result is an analysis of which trees have complementary functions in protecting slopes. However, not building houses in the likely pathway of landslides remains the primary way to avoid human loss of lives.
