This volume brings together papers from geotechnical and civil
engineers, biologists, ecologists and foresters. They discuss
current problems in slope stability research and how to address
them using ground bio- and eco-engineering techniques. Coverage
presents studies by scientists and practitioners on slope
instability, erosion, soil hydrology, mountain ecology, land use
and restoration and how to mitigate these problems using
vegetation.
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.
This book aims to assist in choosing ecotechnological solutions
for slopes that are prone to a variety of mass movements e.g.
shallow failure or erosion. The book reviews the types of
problematic slopes that may occur and describes briefly the nature
of mass movements and the causes of these movements. There is focus
on the use of vegetation to stabilize soil on slopes prone to mass
movements. The book also introduces new ecotechnological methods,
and case studies are discussed.
