This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the effects of vegetation roots on the
soil structure and soil hydraulic properties. After a thorough review of current studies, the …

Regional-scale hydrological investigations that involve vegetation change usually neglect
root-induced modification (RIM) of soil hydraulic properties (SHP). However, there is …

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 …

Soil water is the key limiting factor for achieving sustainable revegetation. Soil infiltration rate
plays an important role in determining the inputs from precipitation, which is important for the …

Surface water infiltration is an important process to meet plant water needs and an important
part of the hydrological cycle via groundwater recharge, with special relevance in semi-arid …

This paper compares the field performance of non-vegetated and vegetated three-layer
landfill cover systems utilising construction waste but without geomembrane at the …

Effects of plant growth on soil hydrological changes need to be considered for long-term
vegetation management of geotechnical infrastructure. Most existing studies focused on one …

Field monitoring was conducted to investigate and quantify the long-term effects of peanut
shell biochar on soil-grass interaction over three years. Three 10 m× 5 m grassed plots were …

Due to global changes and anthropogenic disturbances shrubs are widely encroaching into
alpine meadows, which may have profound impacts on the ecohydrological functioning of …

Soil hydrological processes are extremely complex in high-altitude regions and are
recognized to have positive effects on soil quality, nutrient cycling, herbage yield, and runoff …
