The effects of vegetation traits and their stability functions in bio-engineered slopes: A perspective review
S Bordoloi, CWW Ng - Engineering Geology, 2020 - Elsevier
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 …
