Assessing the effect of Alnus roots on hillslope stability in order to use in soil bioengineering

The role of plant roots in stabilizing slopes is obvious, but the amount of the effect is varied in different species. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of alder (Alnus subcordata) roots on hillslope stability. The profile trenching method was used to obtain root characteristics a...
