Abstract:

Two ways are considered in which vegetation can affect slope stability: changes in the soil moisture regime and contribution to soil strength by the roots. Simple analytical models that may be used to calculate water infiltration into soil and soil reinforcement by roots are reviewed and their applications to stability problems are illustrated by examples. The need for reliable field data to support the analytical models is emphasized.
