Soil-roots composite: correlation between shear strength and some plant properties
The roots and rhizomes of the vegetation interact with the soil to produce a composite material in which the, roots are fibres of relatively high tensile strength and adhesion embedded in a matrix of lower tensile strength. The shear strength of the soil may therefore be enhanced by the root matrix....
