Investigating Causal Factors of Shallow Landslides in Grassland Regions of Switzerland

Abstract: Abstract. Mountainous grassland slopes can be severely affected by soil erosion. To better understand the regional differences of soil erosion patterns, we determine the locations of shallow landslides across different sites and aim at identifying their triggering causal factors. Ten sites across Switzerland located in the Alps (8 sites), in foothill regions (1 site), and the Jura mountains (1 site) were selected for statistical evaluations. For the shallow landslide inventory, we used aerial images (0.25 m) w… Show more

“…High precipitation values (300-530 mm) range from 15.1 to 505.8 mm annually. Recently the importance of changes in temporal patterns of heavy precipitation events on agriculturally dominated areas flooding has been highlighted [17,18]. Northern Xinjiang has a relatively humid climate, abundant water sources, relatively fertile land, a relatively dense population, and highly concentrated areas of productivity.…”
