Full-scale experiments to examine the role of deadwood in rockfall dynamics in forests

<p>Forests are rockfall-protective ecological infrastructures as a significant amount of kinetic energy is absorbed during consecutive rock–tree impacts. Although many recent works have considered rock impacts with standing trees, the effect of lying deadwood in forests has not yet been consid...
