May 20, 2024 · Vegetation affects slope stability through two main mechanisms: the tension imposed by wind load on plants and the strengthening of plant roots. Both the wind load and plant roots had a significant impact on the stability of the slope.

There are four major ways in which vegetation influences slope stability: wind throwing, the removal of water, mass of vegetation (surcharge), and mechanical reinforcement of roots. Wind throwing.
Jan 30, 2024 · There are two primary ways that vegetation can improve the integrity and stability of a slope: mechanically improving the slope and reducing the impacts of water. 1). Mechanical Stabilization. Plants and vegetation on a slope help to physically stabilize the soil.
Sep 20, 2020 · 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 (both root and shoot) on their slope stability functions in compacted and planned green slopes have been reviewed.
stabilizing forces for the upper layer of a slope (Nelson, et al., 2017). Vegetative cover, rip-rap and suitable fill are common approaches to slope stabilization by ground cover (Saftner et al., 2017). Vegetation can enhance the shear strength of the soil thus increase the stability of a slope by root reinforcement (Wu et al 1979). Operstein et
