Abstract Machine learning algorithms are an important measure with which to perform
landslide susceptibility assessments, but most studies use GIS-based classification methods …

Population growth and agricultural intensification lead to stress on landscapes that are
highly sensitive to land-use changes. An increase in irrigation-triggered landslides (ITL) in …

Highlights What are the main findings? Five frequently interacting abiotic constraints
challenge steep slope revegetation Spontaneous vegetation establishment in natural steep …

Affected by groundwater fluctuations, the loess around the hydro-fluctuation zone near the
groundwater table is frequently subjected to periodic dry-wet cycles. The investigation on the …

Cracks in the crown area are one of the important indicators in the instability of the landslide
headscarp, potentially offering early warnings for landslide hazards. Due to the complex …

Groundwater is a critical factor influencing the evolution of high-filling loess slopes (HLS).
This study examines how long-term seasonal fluctuations in groundwater (SFG) influence …

Increases in pore water pressure affect the effective stress state of loess soil, resulting in
deformation and even soil erosion. However, it is still unclear how the mechanical …

According to local villagers, the main Beiguo landslide on the Heyang Loess Tableland in
China occurred several decades ago (the specific time is unknown). After the initial …

Loess landslides, predominantly triggered by human activity and precipitation, dominate the
geomorphological evolution of extensive regions of the Chinese Loess Plateau. Tablelands …

Abstract The Heifangtai terrace, in Northwest China, is a typical area where loess landslides
have been induced by agricultural irrigation, and many of the landslides are prone to …
