Jan 1, 2024 · However, Leung et al. (2015b) studied the effect of vegetation on soil suction under dark and sunlight conditions after being subjected to a rainfall event (a return period of 100 years), and found that under dark condition the suction in vegetated soil at the depth of 8 cm was higher than that in bare soil (see Fig. 9 a, c), and the suction in vegetated soil in the light is higher than that ...

May 20, 2024 · The mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation on the slope are related to an increase in soil shear strength through root anchorage and an increase in matric suction through evapotranspiration, which conform to the Mohr-Coulomb criterion. The hydrological mechanism significantly contributes to slope stability.
Dec 26, 2016 · The soil–vegetation relationship in such diverse landscapes is important from the conservation biology point of view because define habitat preference, and plant structure and diversity supported on each soil type and habitat formations; i.e. richest habitats in both plant and soil nutrient could sustain greater animal diversity and be preferable to conservation, whereas poorest habitats in ...

- Parent Material. Soil parent material is the material that soil develops from, and may be rock that has decomposed in place, or material that has been deposited by wind, water, or ice.
- Climate. Soils tend to show a strong geographical correlation with climate, especially at the global scale. Energy and precipitation strongly influence physical and chemical reactions on parent material.
- Topography. Topography has a significant impact on soil formation as it determines runoff of water, and its orientation affects microclimate which in turn affects vegetation.
- Organisms. Organism, both plant and animal, play an important role in the development and composition of soil. Organisms add organic matter, aid decomposition, weathering and nutrient cycling.
Jan 1, 2018 · This review summarizes the effects of vegetation on runoff and soil loss in three dimensions: vertical vegetation structures (aboveground vegetation cover, surface litter layer and underground ...
Nov 17, 2022 · Background Land-use is a major driver of changes in biodiversity worldwide, but studies have overwhelmingly focused on above-ground taxa: the effects on soil biodiversity are less well known, despite the importance of soil organisms in ecosystem functioning. We modelled data from a global biodiversity database to compare how the abundance of soil-dwelling and above-ground organisms responded ...

Apr 13, 2024 · Soil erosion adversely impacts natural and human environments globally. Vegetation is often used as a sustainable approach to mitigate erosion. Although using vegetation to reduce erosion is a widely accepted concept, how different plant traits mitigate different mechanisms of erosion, and the generality of these mechanisms has not been well demonstrated. We developed ten hypotheses on how ...
