Abstract

In the creation of a landslide inventory of Kerala, India, the profuse growth of Trema orientalis (Family Cannabaceae) in landslide-affected areas has helped in identifying palaeo-landslide locations. This is the first report of the discovery of this particular plant being associated with landslide-affected areas. Trema is found to be an opportunistic plant, utilising the opportunity of canopy clearance during a landslide, to thrive. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015
