This study explores the complex interplay between vegetation and soil stability on slopes to
enhance soil-bioengineering and slope stabilization techniques. We assess the multifaceted …

With the acceleration of rapid urbanization and industrialization, the contradictory
relationship between urbanization construction and urban land use becomes increasingly …

The evaluation of engineering rock mass quality is fundamental work for the engineering
activities of rock mass. The increasing scale of rock mass engineering necessitates higher …

Globally, vegetation has been changing dramatically. The vegetation–water dynamic is key
to understanding ecosystem structure and functioning in water-limited ecosystems …

Ecological materials are increasingly being applied in the loess slope protection, and the
time-dependency deterioration of materials is an important criterion in evaluating their …

Owing to the occurrence of rain and heat during the same period in the Loess Plateau, the
strong dry–wet cycle results in shallow damage such as erosion. As a result, applying new …

The large deformation is a common engineering problem during tunnel excavation. For
brittle rock tunnels, the large deformation is closely related to the rock mass structure. In this …

Cracks and pores are considered as major sources of radon. Cement is widely used as a
grouting material in mines, tunnels, and other projects for reinforcement, seepage …

Gully erosion is serious in the tableland area of the Loess Plateau due to high-intensity
human activities and extreme rainfall, which cause serious soil loss and an increasing …

Groundwater is a critical factor influencing the evolution of high-filling loess slopes (HLS).
This study examines how long-term seasonal fluctuations in groundwater (SFG) influence …
