Mechanical root reinforcement is one of the mechanisms by which vegetation enhances slope stability. Common approaches to quantify this effect include either in situ shear box testing or destructive root sampling combined...
Root architecture and reinforcement are important parameters to measure the safety of vegetated slopes and stream banks against slope instability and erosion or to assess the stability of plants against environmental loading...
Mechanical root reinforcement is an important parameter to evaluate for stability analysis of rooted slopes. The contribution of roots is however difficult to quantify in situ without time-consuming methods or heavy...
