media
posted on 2024-09-17, 21:09 authored by Tom Mackay-Smith, Raphael SpiekermannIn this research video, we explore the findings of Raphael Spiekermann's PhD research that quantified the effects of different tree species on slope stability using geospatial models.
Results of this project include:
- High disconnection between where landslides occur and where poplar and willows are growing in the study site.
- Targeted planting dramatically increases the cost-effectiveness of space-planting.
Funding
Funded by the New Zealand Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment’s Our Land and Water National Science Challenge (Toitū te Whenua, Toiora te Wai), as part of the project Silvopastoral Systems
