In this study, a conceptual hydrologic model was applied for the analysis of storm-induced landslides, which were affected by typhoons in 2004, in the forest catchments of Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Through the model, hydrologic conditions such as rainfall intensity, rainwater storage, and soil...

Anthropogenic activities have exerted increasingly large-scale influences on terrestrial ecological systems from the past century, primarily through agriculture; however, the impact of such changes on the hydrologic cycle is poorly understood. As one of the important land use (LU) in the coastal...
