Root tensile strength of three shrub species : Rosa canina, Cotoneaster dammeri and Juniperus horizontalis. Soil reinforcement estimation by laboratory tests

The presence of vegetation increases soil burden stability along slopes and therefore reduces soil erosion. The contribution of the vegetation is due to mechanical (reinforcing soil shear resistance) and hydrologic controls on stream banks and superficial landslides. This study focused on the biotec...
