Course description
“Relationships between the effect of forest on soil and water conservation of forest and landslides”

Landslides is not only one of important geomorphic processes that form mountainous terrain but also important factor causing sediment disasters. Forest vegetation is generally recognized as a key factor influencing landslide occurrences and is linked to forest resource management such as timber production from the socioeconomic aspect. This lecture consists of three main contents as follows: 1) outline of the sediment disasters 2) relation between forest vegetation and landslide, 3) effect of long-term spatiotemporal fluctuation of forest vegetation associated with forest resource management on landslide.
Expected Learning
To understand the impact of long - term forest vegetation change associated with forest resource management on landslides.
Course schedule
1. What is the effect of forest on soil and water conservation?

Message from instructor(s)
If it rains heavily, is it natural to be dangerous for sediment disaster? The important factor for the research is not to stop questioning.
