| Title | Effect of Root Strength and Soil Saturation on Hillslope Stability in Forests with Natural Cedar Decline in Headwater Regions of SE Alaska |
| Creator | Johnson, A. D. Wilcock, Peter |
| Description | A natural decline in the population of yellow-cedar (Clla~mecyparis nmthtensis) is occurring in pristine southeast Alaska forests and may be the most S~Icant forest decline in the western United States. The frequency of landslides in cedar decline areas is three times larger than in areas of healthy forest. Three regions are investigated in order to determine the influence of yellowcedar decline on root strength, soil saturation, and consequently, slope stability. Nearly complete... |
