Impact of extreme rainfall on triggering conditions and susceptibility for shallow landslides: a case study in the Alpes-Maritimes region (France)

Abstract. Prediction of shallow landslides at the regional scale generally relies on statistical analyses of landslide inventories. Rainfall-duration thresholds and susceptibility maps are among the most common approaches to anticipate future landslide occurrences. However, the o...

Termites play a crucial role in forming major tropical soils: insights from a deep Ferralsol

Abstract Soil bioturbation is increasingly recognized as a key driver of pedogenesis in tropical ecosystems, influencing above- and below-ground biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and aggregate stability across different spatial and temporal scales. This ecological process may play...
