Abstract:Background and aimsRestoring vegetation on hillslopes has been found to increase soil strength, thereby reducing the risk of soil erosion and shallow landslides. However, limited information is available on the temporal changes in root biomechanical traits and increased soil shear strength related to vegetation growth following restoration with different species.MethodsIn 2012, Symplocos setchuensis, Buxus megistophylla, and Cynodon dactylon were replanted in a forest gap in Jinyun Mountain, Beibei District, C… Show more
