Abstract:Background: The presence of vegetation reduces soil erosion and shallow slope failure both by reinforcing soil shear resistance and influencing the geo-mechanic conditions of soil. For this reason, vegetation strategies in areas vulnerable to erosion are considered to be an effective control measure for soil erosion. Method: The tree species used in this research are widespread in the slopes of Chipinque mountain of Sierra Madre Oriental and belong to four native species: Cercis canadensis, Celtis laevigata, Q… Show more
