Nature-based solutions (NBS) for hydro-meteorological risks (HMRs) reduction and
management are becoming increasingly popular, but challenges such as the lack of well …

The influence of vegetation on mechanical and hydrological soil behavior represents a
significant factor to be considered in shallow landslides modelling. Among the multiple …

We present a regionally distributed slope stability modelling for shallow landslides
considering the effect of plant roots. Our modelling is based on the physically-based …

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 …

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 …

Purpose To understand the mechanical role of plant roots in slope stabilization, a number of
root reinforcement (RR) models, which differ greatly in form, mechanism and prediction …

Abstract Silvopastoralism in New Zealand's highly erodible hill country is an important form
of erosion and sediment control. Yet, there has been little quantitative work to establish the …

Root reinforcement is a mechanism through which forests contribute to the prevention and
mitigation of shallow instabilities in soils, one of the main hazards in mountain areas. This …

The cultivation of steep slopes is a widespread practice in hilly and mountainous areas
around the world. Such environments often result in particular agricultural systems linked …

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 …
