This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the effects of vegetation roots on the
soil structure and soil hydraulic properties. After a thorough review of current studies, the …

Regional-scale hydrological investigations that involve vegetation change usually neglect
root-induced modification (RIM) of soil hydraulic properties (SHP). However, there is …

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 …

Research on the coupling of soil, vegetation, and hydrological processes is not only a
research hotspot in disciplines such as pedology, ecohydrology and Earth system science …

As a result of climate change and increasing engineering activities, soil-related disasters
such as slope failures and sandstorms have become more frequent worldwide. These …

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), a newly green method, was investigated as
a possible solution to rainfall-induced erosion of sandy slopes. A series of model slopes …

Previous studies do not consider the coupled influence of temperature and plant roots on
soil hydrological response and slope stability. This study aims to investigate the suction …

The formation and propagation of surface desiccation cracks in vegetated infrastructures
involve coupled factors including unsaturated soil mechanics, atmospheric conditions and …

Granite residual soil is widely used as a subgrade material in pavement engineering.
Previous studies have not investigated the influence of stress on the soil water retention …

This paper compares the field performance of non-vegetated and vegetated three-layer
landfill cover systems utilising construction waste but without geomembrane at the …
