Biotechnical and Soil Bioengineering Slope Stabilization: A Practical Guide for Erosion Control Wiley-Interscience.
A guide to the selection, construction, and installation of soil bioengineering and biotechnical slope protection against erosion and mass wasting, for professionals and students in geotechnical engineering, geology, soil science, forestry, landscape architecture, and restoration ecology.
Coverage includes general principles of erosion, the role of vegetation in slope stability, structural- mechanical components, vegetative considerations, and techniques and methods in soil bioengineering and biotechnical stabilization. Includes four case studies, illustrated with b&w photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc.
Portland, Or. Biotechnical slope stabilization and soil bioengineering are techniques that use plants to stabilize slopes and prevent soil erosion. They are preferable to traditional structures because they are cost-effective, attractive, and much better for the environment.
This book examines these popular methods for dealing with erosion control and slope stabilization problems.
