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 …

This study explores the complex interplay between vegetation and soil stability on slopes to
enhance soil-bioengineering and slope stabilization techniques. We assess the multifaceted …

Roughly a third of Europe's water demand is satisfied by groundwater abstraction.
Understanding how future changes in climate, weather, vegetation and land use will affect …

Soil recovery is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration at post-mining sites. Water
infiltration and preferential flow in soil are important but little studied soil characteristics. In …

Plant roots potentially contribute to slope instability by causing infiltrating water to be
spatially and temporally redistributed in the soil unevenly following rainfall. But the root …

In karst areas, the distribution of stony soils results from bedrock weathering over time,
influencing the development of preferential flow to some extent. In this study, field dye …

Purpose Soil moisture (ie, the changes in the gravimetric soil water content) redistribution is
closely linked with root distribution and preferential flow in soils. This study aimed at …

The preferential flow path development is potentially the result of spatial variations in soil
properties with soil depth. However, visualizing the evolution of the preferential flow path …

Ecological factors are important for shallow landslide risk assessment. Various ecological
indicators have been previously proposed and studied. However, because the functional …

Wetland ecosystem, with their precious natural resources and important ecological
functions, is an integral part of the global ecosystem. Preferential flow is a form of water and …
