Root Reinforcement: Measurement and Modelling provides important information on how to use vegetation in engineering design, including how to quantify reinforcement by both focusing on how to collect data (measurements) and how to interpret data collected to make predictions for modified soil properties (modeling). The book covers mechanical and hydrological interactions between soil and plant roots while also exploring and comparing measurement techniques and systematically dissecting predictive models developed in the last fifty years. This methodical approach and inclusion of executable code makes it a suitable resource for both researchers and practitioners, especially those new to this field.

The contribution of vegetation to slope stability is a complex, multi-scale, and multi-agent mechanism, necessitating inter-disciplinary research. Due to varying backgrounds of researchers working on this topic, standardization of methods and a systematic classification of models is lacking. This book helps to fill that void.
