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 …

Worldwide, shallow slope failure is a problem causing environmental and economic
damage. Vegetation plays an important role for the stabilization of slopes. Accordingly …

It is widely accepted that future environmental changes will affect rainfall-induced shallow
slides in high-mountain areas. In this study, the Val d'Aran region located in the Central …

Slope stability models traditionally use simple indicators of root system structure and
strength when vegetation is included as a factor. However, additional root system traits …

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are being promoted as adaptive measures against predicted
increasing hydrometeorological hazards (HMHs), such as heatwaves and floods which have …

The effects of land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics on landslide susceptibility are not
fully understood. This study evaluates the influence of LULC on landslide susceptibility and …

Roots play a major role in reinforcing and stabilizing steep hillslopes. Most studies in slope
stability implement root reinforcement as an apparent cohesion by upscaling the behavior of …

The role of land use dynamics on shallow landslide susceptibility remains an unresolved
problem. Thus, this work aims to assess the influence of land use changes on shallow …

Landslide spatial prediction using data-driven models has predominantly concentrated on
predicting where landslides may occur. Nevertheless, few researchers have turned to jointly …

Plant roots help to reinforce the soil, increase slope stability and decrease water erosion.
Root tensile strength plays an important role in soil reinforcement and slope stabilization …
