Quantifying forest disturbance regimes within caribou (Rangifer tarandus) range in British Columbia by James C. Maltman, Nicholas C. Coops, Gregory J. M. Rickbeil, Txomin Hermosilla, A. Cole Burton

“…Additionally, we utilize this data to investigate harvesting rates since the implementation of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) and publication of recovery strategies for caribou in BC. Southern Mountain caribou herds are the most threatened yet experienced the highest rates of disturbance, with 22.75% of forested habitat within their ranges disturbed during the study period. …”

Mechanism of seismic-collapsed loess landslides induced by the Ms6.2 earthquake in Jishishan County, Gansu Province, China by Yali Wang, Ping Wang, Guofu Luo, Shaofeng Chai, Wenguo Ma, Chenyang Ye, Shiyang Xu, Haoran Yu

“…On December 18, 2023, a magnitude MS6.2 earthquake struck Jishishan County, Gansu Province, triggering over 40 seismic subsidence sites within a seismic intensity VI zone, 32 km from the epicenter.The earthquake caused tens of millions in economic losses to mountain photovoltaic power stations. Extensive geological surveys and comparisons with similar landslides (such as soil loosening, widespread cracks, and stepped displacements) triggered by the 1920 Haiyuan MS8.5 earthquake and the 1995 Yongdeng MS5.8 earthquake, this study preliminarily identifies one subsidence sites as a seismic-collapsed loess landslide. …”
