The pullout resistance of plant roots in the field at different soil water conditions and root geometries

Chia-Cheng Fan et al.

Summary: The resistance of plant roots in soil is influenced by soil water conditions, root length, and soil-root bond strength. Findings also suggest that root branching and interlocking of root hairs with surrounding undisturbed soils play a significant role in the pullout resistance of roots tested in the field.

Experimental and numerical study on stability performance of new ecological slope protection using bolt-hinge anchored block

Hui Su et al.

Summary: A new ecological slope protection method was proposed, which combines bolt-hinge anchored blocks with vegetation root systems. Experimental tests showed that under high-intensity earthquake acceleration, this method significantly improved slope stability compared to other traditional protection methods.

Scaling the Roots Mechanical Reinforcement in Plantation of Cunninghamia R. Br in Southwest China

Alam Mehtab et al.

Summary: The distribution and tensile strength of roots in the soil of standing forests are influenced by the diameter of tree stem. Root indices and cohesion increase with larger stem diameter, while root area ratio decreases with depth and lateral distance from the tree stem, with maximum values at 10 cm depth. Root cohesion estimated for trees with different stem diameters showed an increasing trend, and comparison between different models suggests overestimation by WWM.

Functions of mineral-solubilizing microbes and a water retaining agent for the remediation of abandoned mine sites

Chong Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of adding mineral-solubilizing microbes and a water retaining agent to external-soil spray seeding substrate on Lespedeza bicolor growth in pots. The results showed that microbes enhanced soil nutrients and enzyme activities, promoting root growth, while the water retaining agent promoted root growth but decreased root tensile strength. The addition of microbes was found to enhance soil quality, providing a new strategy for ecological restoration of abandoned mine sites.

A simple approach for estimating contribution of vetiver roots in shear strength of a soil-root system

Faria Fahim Badhon et al.

Summary: Bio-engineering technology using vegetation, particularly vetiver, has been studied to address slope failure-related problems. The research found that the tensile strength of vetiver roots is influenced by root diameter, and that rooting soil can increase shear strength with longer roots and lower soil water content. In situ tests confirmed a linear relationship between additional shear strength in rooted soil and mobilized tensile strength of roots, leading to the development of a mathematical model for estimating shear strength of rooted soil.
