Pulsed carbon export from mountains by earthquake-triggered landslides explored in a reduced-complexity model

<p>In mountain ranges, earthquakes can trigger widespread landsliding and mobilize large amounts of organic carbon by eroding soil and vegetation from hillslopes. Following a major earthquake, the landslide-mobilized organic carbon can be exported from river catchments by physical sediment tra...
