Storm-triggered landslides in the Peruvian Andes and implications for topography, carbon cycles, and biodiversity by Clark, K, West, A, Hilton, R, Asner, G, Quesada, C, Silman, M, Saatchi, S, Farfan-Rios, W, Martin, R, Horwath, A, Halladay, K, New, M, Malhi, Y

“…In this study, we assess the geomorphic role of a rare, large-magnitude landslide-triggering event and consider its effect on mountain forest ecosystems and the erosion of organic carbon in an Andean river catchment. Proximal triggers such as large rain storms are known to cause large numbers of landslides, but the relative effects of such low-frequency, high-magnitude events are not well known in the context of more regular, smaller events. …”
