The Affecting Factors of Soil-Reinforcement by Plant Roots

Abstract:

Now, with the large-scale of various projects constructed, a lot of the original vegetation were destroyed and formed a large area of bare slope. The existence of slopes increased the occurrent intensity of soil erosion, landslides and debris flow, and also caused local ecological disasters of the deterioration of the microclimate and the destruction of the biological chain. Based on this situation, this article discussed the reinforced soil reinforcement of shallow fine roots and deep rough roots, and generalized comprehensively the root factors on the impact of the reinforced soil, and explored the lack of research and development trends of vegetation slope protection.
