Quantifying the Effect of Trees on Slope Stability in New Zealand Hill Country: Research Video

June 2024

In 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.
