Vegetation-induced soil stabilization in coastal area: An example from a natural mangrove forest

Zahra Karimi et al.

Summary: Mangrove forests provide essential ecosystem services and contribute significantly to natural resources in tropical and semitropical regions. This study assesses the role of white mangrove roots in stabilizing coastlines and found that they play a crucial role in reducing coastal erosion.

Effects of tree spacing and thinning on root reinforcement in mountain forests of the European Southern Alps

Alessio Cislaghi et al.

Summary: Root reinforcement is an important mechanism through which forests contribute to preventing and mitigating shallow instabilities in mountain areas. This study found that the effectiveness of root reinforcement differs among different forest types, with the lowest effectiveness found in sweet chestnut forests. Low thinning did not significantly impact root reinforcement, while random cluster thinning reduced it by five-fold.
