This paper discusses the role of plants in the prevention of shallow landslides induced by
rain (soil slips); these phenomena, related to “hydrogeological instability,” are among the …

Cultural heritage is one of the most exceptional resources characterizing the Italian territory.
Archaeological heritage, ie, the archaeological sites with different types of archaeological …

In this work, the primary resources assessment of four different soil erosion remediation
technologies, Geo-nets, Bio-mats, Geo-cells and Deep Rooting Plants (DRP), is performed …

Slope vegetation is currently finding wide applications all over the world to mitigate erosive
phenomena and improve slope stability. A natural technology for slope protection has been …

A common soil-bio-engineering practice to prevent the erosion and the movement of soil
along natural hill-slopes is the hydroseeding of herbs and shrubs, whose roots can …

Soil bio-engineering techniques consist in the use of plants, often combined with wooden
structures, for the protection and reinforcement of soil and contextually for the re …

The principal ways in which the removal of a forest cover influences the stability of sloping
soils is briefly described. Potential destabilizing effects of surcharge are compensated by …

Slope vegetation is currently finding wide applications all over the world to mitigate erosive
phenomena and improve slope stability. An innovative natural technology for slope …

Traditional technical solutions for slope stabilization are generally costly and very impacting
on the natural environment and landscape. A possible alternative for improving slope …

A large part of the Italian territory is prone to hydrogeological instability, due to its peculiar
geological and geomorphological characteristics. Climate changes and anthropic …
