Loss of the ancient cedar, pine, fir, and oak forests on the slopes above is another matter. This year’s snowmelt caused landslides and flooding – a warning of more soil erosion and destruction of arable land to come; hundreds died and thousands lost their livelihoods.
山坡上的古杉木、松树、枞树和橡树林的消失是另外一个问题。今年的雪融水引发了山崩和洪水——这是更多土壤遭受侵蚀以及耕地将被大量破坏的警告；数百人丧生于此，成千上万的人失去了生计。
