A portion of precipitation drains to the surface down plant stems, as “stemflow.” Although per
observations to date, stemflow rarely represents> 2% of gross precipitation in forests, it can …

Mangrove forests provide essential ecosystem services in tropical and semitropical regions
by supporting their natural regeneration and other biosystem processes, offering livelihood …

Purpose Root reinforcement is a key parameter in slope stability analysis, but is difficult to be
effectively included at the hillslope-scale due to the complexity of root systems. As a result …

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 …

In view of the important role played by roots against shallow landslides, root tensile force
was evaluated for two widespread temperate tree species within the Caspian Hyrcanian …

The beneficial effects of plant roots in decreasing soil detachment in forest ecosystems
exposed to rill erosion are well known. However, these effects vary largely between different …

Quantifying the soil reinforcement provided by roots is essential for assessing the
contribution of forests to reducing shallow landslide susceptibility. Many soil-root models …

Tree root system development alters forest soil properties, and differences in root diameter
frequency and root length per soil volume reflect differences in root system function. In this …

In this research, we used the integration of frequency ratio and adaptive neuro-fuzzy
modeling (ANFIS) to predict landslide susceptibility along forest road networks in the …

The decline of habitats supporting medicinal plants is a consequence of climate change and
human activities. In the Middle East, Ferulago angulata, Ferulago carduchorum, and …
