These numbers have surged in the last decade alone. It is said that natural disasters have affected over 3 billion lives, killed on average 750,000 people, and cost more than 600 billion US dollars. Of these numbers, a greater proportion are due to sediment-related disasters, and these numbers are an indication of the amount of work still to be done in the field of soil erosion, conservation, and landslides. Scientists, engineers, and planners are all under immense pressure to develop and improve existing scientific tools to model erosion and landslides and, in the process, better conserve the soil. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to improve our knowledge on the processes and mechanics of soil erosion and landslides. In turn, these will be crucial in developing the right tools and models for soil and water conservation, disaster mitigation, and early warning systems.Environmental science, engineering and technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscalpine meadowalpine swamp meadowbreach modelbridge pierclimate changedam breachdebris flowdeciduous broadleaved treedeep lip surfaceDeep Neural Networkdegradation of riparian vegetationdendrogeomorphologyearth system scienceextreme eventsextreme rainfallextreme rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility modelextreme weatherfeature selectionflume testGaussian processgrey correlation analysisgully erosionhillslopeshydrologic modelICUimage classificationJiuzhaigou Valleylaboratory model testLancang-Mekong River basinland cover changesland uselandform change impact on pierlandslidelandslide activitylandslide evolutionlandslide hotspotslandslide probability modellandslide ratio-based logistic regressionloessmachine learningmechanical behaviormitigation countermeasuresMUSCL-Hancock methodn/anaive Bayesoutburst floodoverfallovertoppingpore structurePSED Modelradial basis function kernelrainfall erosivity factorrainfall thresholdrill erosionroot distributionroot systemRUSLEsafety factorscoursediment yieldseepageseismic signalshallow landslidesshallow water equationsShirakami Mountainssimulated annealingsoil erodibilitysoil erosionsoil managementspatiotemporal cluster analysisspectrum similarity analysisstatic liquefactionsusceptibilitySyriaTaiwantensile cracktensile strengthtree ringTVD-schemeTyphoon MorakotUSLE Rvegetation communityvegetation importance valuevegetation restorationwater erosionweighted subspace random forestwet-dry frontZechawa GullyEnvironmental science, engineering and technologyTechnology: general issuesChen Su-Chinedt1326297Chen Su-ChinothBOOK9910566467403321Soil-Water Conservation, Erosion, and Landslide3037278UNINA
