摘要: Although the disaster reduction effects of forest braking have long been known empirically, they not in detail down to recent. In this study, we ascertained effect by numerical simulations using avalanche dynamics program, TITAN2D, model large-scale avalanches. One these avalanches occurred Makunosawa valley, Myoko, and damaged a cedar forest; others on Mt. Iwate subalpine forest. All many trees terminated within forests. our simulations, resistance forests is simulated larger bed friction angle. Fitting observations from trial error, angle 13–14° non-forested area 25° forested obtained. We conducted same method as for valley avalanche, obtained good agreement between simulations. Simulations reveal that without forest, would traveled at least 200 m farther than forest's actual end possibly up 600 Iwate. This study therefore clearly shows provide
