Ecological restoration and mechanical reinforcement effect of slope of tailings reservoir

Yang Sun et al.

Summary: The study found that vetiver is more advantageous for reinforcing the slope of the tailings reservoir, and the optimal root content of the root-soil composites is within the range of 0.3-0.4%. These results can provide important theoretical support for the comprehensive control and ecological restoration of a tailings reservoir slope.

Stability Analysis of Ecological Slopes Based on a 3D Finite Element Model

Zifan Sui et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of plant roots on soil stability of slopes in rainy areas in the south, focusing on the differences in root distribution and mechanical properties between grass and shrubs. Results show that vegetation can increase the safety factor of the soil, with herbaceous plants and shrubs both playing a positive role in enhancing soil stability.

Hydro-Mechanical Effects of Several Riparian Vegetation Combinations on the Streambank Stability-A Benchmark Case in Southeastern Norway

Vittoria Capobianco et al.

Summary: Vegetation can be utilized as a nature-based solution for river restoration and mitigating water-triggered processes. Choosing a mix of different plant species along riverbanks can enhance biodiversity and stability of river systems. Further research is needed to explore how different plant species combination can improve riverbank stability.
