Title: Landslide erosion risk to New Zealand pastoral steeplands productivity: Journal: Land Degradation & Development; Authors: P. G. Luckman, R. D. Gibson, and R. C. Derose; Date: 1999; Summary: A simple model was developed to evaluate the impacts of long-term soil erosion on pasture productivity caused by storm-induced landslides steep (>25°) hill slopes. The study area is located on the North Island of New Zealand (38° 24\' S; 175° 43\' E) where the risk of landslides can increase following initial forest or scrub clearance, ultimately leading to a decrease in pasture productivity caused by increased soil erosion. The basic modeling unit of measurement used was the terrain mapping unit (TMU) which is described as a relatively homogenous parcel of land cover ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Pasture management, Landslides, Erosion; View more details about this article
