KEYWORDSnatural and engineering slope, slope failure mechanism, slope monitoring, risk assessment, ecology and land use Editorial on the Research Topic Monitoring, early warning and mitigation of natural and engineered slopes-volume III s Seven of the 16 articles in the Research Topic explored research on slope displacement profile evaluation, landslide deformation monitoring, and the use of multiple models to quantitatively evaluate disaster risks, aiming at providing scientific support for slope treatment and disaster prevention. Li et al. proposed a three-dimensional nested Newmark method (3D-NNM) within the framework of kinematic theorems in limit analysis.
