The ords, by allowing increased tidal access and wave attack on the cliff toe and cliff face, increase erosion rates. This paper compares the formation, development and movement of ords in 1994–1998 and 2010–2020. Taken in spring and autumn, stereo-aerial photographs were used in 1994–1998 and aerial LiDAR and ortho-rectified aerial photographs in 2010–2020. To compare hydrodynamic conditions in the two periods Immingham tide, Leconfield wind and Hornsea wave data were used. The main results are consistent with earlier findings that ords form near Barmston where the shelter of Flamborough Head in northerly storms ceases and causes a longshore sediment movement divide. Coastal defences had a similar effect at Hornsea and Mappleton. Ord length measurements showed ords covering 23–35% of the coast in 1994–1998 and 20–40% in 2010–2020. Average cliff toe height in the later period was 3.05, 2.24 and 3.27mAOD in the north, centre and south ord parts, respectively. This allowed all High Water Spring Tides to reach the cliff toe at the ord centres under calm conditions on the survey dates. Higher beach levels north and south provided more cliff protection. Slower annual net average ord movement southwards of 0.36 km in 1994–1998 contrasted with 1.1 km in 2010–2020. Although the storm surges over 0.9 m at Immingham increased from 12 in the earlier period to 58 in the later period, of these only four and six, respectively raised the tide level to over 4.0 mAOD, above the cliff toe height throughout the ords. No major storms occurred in 1994–1998 compared with three in 2010–2020. No rhythmic inter-tidal features closely resembling ords have been found globally in the extensive literature, but more research into morphodynamic processes within ords is needed.</p>","PeriodicalId":11408,"journal":{"name":"Earth Surface Processes and Landforms","volume":"50 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/esp.70036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144624589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evolution of these shelters has not previously been studied in detail, yet provides the ultimate control on the long-term survival of rock art within them. The rock shelters develop initially on near-vertical sides of remnant sandstone blocks on an etched landscape exhumed from a formerly pervasive deep lateritic weathering zone of probable Neogene age. The two nearly flat-lying sandstone formations are highly cemented orthoquartzites characterized by brittle behaviour revealed in a landscape-scale pattern of etched joint planes and small strike-ridge scarps along which shelters develop. Consistent features of these rock shelters reflect their mode of origin and subsequent evolution through a life cycle lasting tens of thousands of years or more. These include horizontal bedding-plane ceilings and fractured back walls cutting through sandstone beds, which host most of the rock paintings. Fractures mostly dip back towards the deepest part of the shelter near the floor. The first stage in shelter development involves undermining by crushing of a relatively thin incompetent bed to form a recessed bedding cave in the absence of normal erosional agencies. Overlying massive sandstone beds are left unsupported and progressively collapse in one or more intact slab falls. Further falls lead to gradual enlargement and a rocky floor piled with fallen slabs. The geometry of the fractured back walls suggests that both tensile and shear failure are involved in shelter growth in a series of mass wasting events. Subsequent spallation and dilational flaking on sandstone surfaces on the lowermost sandstone faces modify the shelter walls. Eventually, the shelter may be destroyed by toppling forward due to continued undermining at the base.</p>","PeriodicalId":11408,"journal":{"name":"Earth Surface Processes and Landforms","volume":"50 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/esp.70124","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144624588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its collapsing-wall stability is closely related to the soil shear performance, which can be mechanically reinforced by plant roots. Shrub-root reinforcement mechanisms and model optimization have not been studied systematically. This study considers <i>Melastoma candidum</i>, a dominant shrub species in southern Benggang areas. Using remolded soil direct shear tests, the effects of different moisture content levels and root diameter classes on the shear characteristics of root–soil composites are explored. A shear strength equation for root-soil composites, based on the Wu–Waldron model (WWM), was established, incorporating soil moisture content and root diameter (Equations (12) and (13)). The key findings are as follows: (1) Roots significantly enhance soil shear strength and cohesion. At 15% moisture content, 1.50–3.00-mm roots provide optimal shear strength improvement; at 25% moisture content, 0.00–1.50-mm roots perform best, but achieve maximum cohesion enhancement under both moisture conditions. (2) Increased moisture content significantly reduces root–soil composite shear strength and cohesion. (3) Root diameter variation minimally affects the soil internal friction angle, which decreases with increasing moisture content. (4) The WWM overestimated the measured shear strength by ≥5.60 times. Incorporating the moisture content and root diameter, the WWM correction coefficient was 0.02–0.18, and the newly established shear strength prediction equations based on the Mohr-Coulomb criterion and the WWM model demonstrated significantly improved accuracy (<i>R</i><sup><i>2</i></sup>, Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency [<i>NSE</i>] ≥ 0.92).

The results have shown that there exists a specific rainfall intensity (named safe rainfall intensity), below which the slope of tailing dams will be in a safe state no matter how long the rainfall duration is.

Characterizing the dynamic uprooting response during rockfall-tree interaction is essential for understanding the protective capabilities of forests in mitigating these hazards. In this study, a novel model tree is developed to evaluate the uprooting resistance against instantaneous impact. A lamina emergent torsional (LET) joint is introduced to simulate the root-soil plate rotation behaviour. Then, a large-scale pendulum experiment is used to validate the statical and dynamic uprooting responses of the model tree. A numerical model is used to back-analyse the experiments and subsequently, a parametric study is performed. Our results demonstrate that the model tree closely reproduces the static and dynamic uprooting behaviours of natural trees, providing an accessible tool for further physical model experiments on rockfall and landslide impacts. The dynamic uprooting response of a tree is governed by both impact force and contact duration. Under instantaneous impacts, three distinct response regimes are observed: quasi-static, impulse and intermediate. In most impact scenarios, trees exhibit responses in the impulse and intermediate regimes, indicating that static-based criteria are insufficient for assessing uprooting stability. Consequently, we propose a dynamic failure criterion for predicting tree uprooting during rockfall interactions based on an empirical relationship between the critical impact duration and the normalized maximum impact turning moment. This criterion enables the prediction of dynamic tree uprooting failure using rockfall velocities, rockfall masses and stem diameters.</p>","PeriodicalId":11408,"journal":{"name":"Earth Surface Processes and Landforms","volume":"50 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/esp.70114","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144537210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
