Vegetation and slope stability

Index Vegetation and slope stability

Vegetation and slope stability are interrelated by the ability of the plant life growing on slopes to both promote and hinder the stability of the slope. [1]

Pore space in soil

The pore space of soil contains the liquid and gas phases of soil, i.e., everything but the solid phase that contains mainly minerals of varying sizes as well as organic compounds.

Root

In vascular plants, the root is the organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil.

Soil

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.

Soil horizon

A soil horizon is a layer parallel to the soil surface, whose physical characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath.

Transpiration

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers.

Tree

In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species.

Vegetation

Vegetation is an assemblage of plant species and the ground cover they provide.

Water cycle

The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle or the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.

Wind

Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale.
