The Influence of Root Geometry on Soil Cohesion and Anchoring Ability through Geologic Time

Vegetation has become ubiquitous among most modern landscapes. However, for much of the Earth’s history, land plants were absent. Their rapid diversification throughout the Devonian and Carboniferous brought about a massive shift in geomorphology and landscape evolution. Complex rooting structures w...
