Mapping Landslide Prediction through a GIS-Based Model: A Case Study in a Catchment in Southern Italy

Shallow landslides are an increasing concern in Italy and worldwide because of the frequent association with vegetation management. As vegetation cover plays a fundamental role in slope stability, we developed a GIS-based model to evaluate the influence of plant roots on slope safety, and also inclu...
