Variations due to climate change like rising sea levels, recurring storm surges and changing
wave conditions coupled with unsustainable development along the coast are exacerbating …

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 …

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 …

Unsustainable agricultural land use will lead to an increased risk of soil erosion and soil
degradation. However, few studies have investigated impacts of changes in root and soil …

The significance of mangroves and the associated risks they face have prompted
government and the private sector to invest in projects aimed at conserving and restoring …

After disturbance sprouts emerge from the ground, generating multi-stemmed plants as they
grow, which represents a means of rapidly recovering above ground biomass. We …

Two of the eight main soil degradation processes with which soils worldwide are confronted
are soil erosion and landslides. Specifically, landslides are a major threat in particular areas …

Mangrove plantations can potentially restore the vegetation structures protecting coastal
areas. In Avicennia alba plantations in central Thailand, we investigated the vegetation …

Mangrove forests provide many ecosystem services to coastal communities and are
essential in addressing climate change and coastal erosion. Unfortunately, physical …

As an effective measure of urban forest management, organic mulching impacts soil
properties, the environment, and tree growth. Fine roots are vital for resource acquisition and …
