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).

A longer length of dry beach results in a higher safety margin for the slope stability of tailing dams. The presence of a drainage pipe contributes most to the increase in the stability of tailing dams under rainfall infiltration. The FoS-based CRPC tends to overestimate the safety margin of the slope stability of tailing dams, owing to the omission of variability in soil parameters as compared with the reliability-based CRPC.

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}

Previous studies have reported hundreds of Late Pleistocene moraine/glacier and landslide dams caused by glacier advances or seismic activity across the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, and confirmed that these dammed lakes significantly impeded river incision into the plateau interior. However, comprehensive exploration for geomorphological and sedimentological records documenting the complete evolutionary cycles of such dammed lakes remains scarce. This study identifies a well-preserved lacustrine-fan delta sedimentary succession associated with the Xiaqu dammed lake in the Yigong Tsangpo basin. Through integrated field observations, sedimentological analyses and chronological data obtained through optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) and AMS radiocarbon dating techniques, we reconstruct the full evolutionary history of the lake, which underwent five distinct evolutionary stages, including initial formation, abrupt failure, secular stability, sedimentary infilling and fluvial incision.

Continuous lacustrine sediments deposited between 4.74 ka and 3.11 ka imply a relative stability period for the remnant dammed lake. Subsequent fluvial deposits, unconformably overlying lacustrine sediments post-siltation, are dated to slightly later than 1.48 ka cal. BP.

Rocksalt, thanks to its high solubility and transport-controlled dissolution kinetics, offers the opportunity to investigate the morphological evolution of karren in short periods of time.

Solution flutes and solution bevels show complex evolutionary patterns that do not align with the commonly advocated parallel retreat and morphological persistence model. Instead, flutes can experience substantial morphological changes involving coalescence by the destruction of slim ridges and splitting caused by incision in the resulting broad flutes.

However, short-term changes in channel morphology on the Tibetan Plateau, particularly in response to significant climate change and human activities in recent decades, remain poorly understood. This study examines five reaches of the Parlung Zangbo River, a major tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River, integrating Landsat remote sensing imagery with hydrological records to analyse changes in channel morphology—including channel width, channel area, braided index and the number and area of mid-channel bars—between 1973 and 2020. The results indicate that all five sub-reaches of the Parlung Zangbo River underwent expansion, with significant increases in channel width, channel area, braided index, and both the number and area of mid-channel bars during this period. However, these changes occurred in distinct phases: an overall expansion of river channels from 1973 to 2000, followed by channel narrowing in the reaches of the Parlung Zangbo River trunk stream between 2000 and 2020. The initial expansion of river channels was likely driven by increased precipitation, meltwater and discharge associated with climate change. In contrast, the decline in precipitation over the southern Tibetan Plateau since 2000 has led to reduced discharge, contributing to channel narrowing. Additionally, upstream of hydroelectric stations, human activities may have altered the riverbed gradient and reduced sediment transport capacity, promoting channel expansion and the deposition of side bars. Among these factors, climate-related influences, particularly changes in precipitation and temperature, exert the most profound and long-term effects on river hydrology and channel morphology in the Parlung Zangbo catchment, surpassing the impact of human activities.</p>","PeriodicalId":11408,"journal":{"name":"Earth Surface Processes and Landforms","volume":"50 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144482325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
