Despite their often dangerous and unpredictable nature, landslides
provide fascinating templates for studying how soil organisms,
plants and animals respond to such destruction. The emerging field
of landslide ecology helps us understand these responses, aiding
slope stabilisation and restoration and contributing to the
progress made in geological approaches to landslide prediction and
mitigation. Summarising the growing body of literature on the
ecological consequences of landslides, this book provides a
framework for the promotion of ecological tools in predicting,
stabilising, and restoring biodiversity to landslide scars at both
local and landscape scales. It explores nutrient cycling; soil
development; and how soil organisms disperse, colonise and interact
in what is often an inhospitable environment. Recognising the role
that these processes play in providing solutions to the problem of
unstable slopes, the authors present ecological approaches as
useful, economical and resilient supplements to landslide
management.
