Book Synopsis Eco- and Ground Bio-Engineering: The Use of Vegetation to Improve Slope Stability by : A. Stokes
Book excerpt: 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.
