Eco- and Ground Bio-Engineering: The Use of Vegetation to Improve Slope Stability - Proceedings of the First International Conference on Eco-Engineering 13-17 September 2004 (Hardcover, 2007 ed.)

In an era where climate change, natural catastrophes and land degradation are major issues, the conservation of soil and vegetation in mountainous or sloping regions has become an international priority. How to avoid substrate mass movement through landslides and erosion using sustainable and ecologically sound techniques is rapidly becoming a scientific domain where knowledge from many different fields is required. These proceedings bring together papers from geotechnical and civil engineers, biologists, ecologists and foresters, who discuss current problems in slope stability research, and how to address those problems using ground bio- and eco-engineering techniques.
