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

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.
