The effects of vegetation traits and their stability functions in bio-engineered slopes: A perspective review
S Bordoloi, CWW Ng - Engineering Geology, 2020 - Elsevier
Bio-engineered slopes use vegetation as “live” protection elements against the triggering
forces of landslides, erosions and debris flows. In this paper, the effects of basic plant traits …

Influence of biochar on the soil water retention characteristics (SWRC): Potential application in geotechnical engineering structures
Biochar is a stable carbon-rich product obtained through pyrolysis of plant and animal-
based biomass. Soil is often amended with biochar due to the beneficial features, such as …

Effects of plant roots on soil-water retention and induced suction in vegetated soil
Plant evapotranspiration (ET) is considered to be a hydrological effect that would induce soil
suction and hence influence the stability of geotechnical infrastructure. However, other …

Variations in the susceptibility to landslides, as a consequence of land cover changes: A look to the past, and another towards the future
Land cover is one of the most important conditioning factors in landslide susceptibility
analysis. Usually it is considered as a static factor, but it has proven to be dynamic, with …

Exploring the application of the MICP technique for the suppression of erosion in granite residual soil in Shantou using a rainfall erosion simulator
Granite residual soil is vulnerable to collapse under rainfall-induced erosion. This may in
turn lead to the occurrence of landslides or debris flows on slopes. Previous studies on use …

Investigation of plant growth and transpiration-induced matric suction under mixed grass–tree conditions
Although evapotranspiration-induced matric suction for single species has been widely
studied, little is known about how mixed-species planting would affect plant growth and …
