Forest damage and its braking effect on the extreme snow avalanche on Mt. Nodanishoji, Japan, in 2021

An extreme snow avalanche occurred on Mt. Nodanishoji, Japan, in 2021. This avalanche was the second largest ever documented in Japan and destroyed many trees and structures. Despite the increasing interest in avalanche disaster mitigation effects of forests, there are limited opportunities to obtai...
