Short summary
We performed an analysis on semi-automatically mapped shallow landslide scarps and forest cover in the Sellrain valley, Tyrol (Austria), to investigate how the morphology and topographic profiles of landslides are affected by the forest. The results show that landslides located in dense forest cover occurred on steeper slopes and were deeper than others. The results also show that the use of forest stand density parameters, such as tree spacing, enhanced the found differences in the study area.
