Real-size experiments and 3-D simulation of rockfall on forested and non-forested slopes

Only a few rockfall simulation models take into account the mitigating effect of existing forest cover. The objective of our study was to improve the generic rockfall simulation model RockyFor, which does take the effect of forest stands into account, thereby developing a clear method for quantifyin...
