Vegetation has been used as a means in geotechnical engineering for soil improvement
and erosion control. This paper aims to present a state-of-the-art review and future …

The hydrological processes associated with vegetation and their effect on slope stability are
complex and so difficult to quantify, especially because of their transient effects (eg changes …

To investigate the shear strength of root–geomat reinforced soil (RMS), direct shear tests
were conducted in laboratory on soil samples cultivated with three–dimensional geomats …

Root cohesion (Cv) represents a fundamental parameter for the stability of a tree as well as
for the vegetation contribution to slope stability. Therefore, the finding of information …

In this study, an integrated 2D numerical model is applied to investigate the mechanical
effects of the vegetation and soil type on slope stability. The developed model can assess …

Vegetation is widely used for controlling landslides around the world; however, rainfall-
induced shallow landslides occur frequently on vegetation-covered slopes on the Chinese …

Engineering methods such as soil nails, geosynthetic reinforcement, retaining structures,
gabions, and shotcrete are implemented to stabilize road cut slopes along mountainous …

Currently, the vegetation has recovered well in most areas of the Loess Plateau in China,
and soil erosion has significantly decreased. However, the heavy rainfall event in July 2018 …

Forest plantations can help to reinforce soil and improve hillslope's stability against shallow
landslides. Based on 3D finite element method implemented in SIMULIA software, this paper …

Riparian vegetation directly and indirectly affects many fluvial processes. In particular, the
root system of riparian trees and shrubs may greatly influence river morphodynamics by …
