Resumen
In this study, the effects of roots of different root
morphologies (tap roots vs. fine-branched roots) on
concentrated flow erosion rates are studied experimentally.
The impact of soil type, soil moisture conditions (saturated
vs. dry topsoil samples) and flow shear stress on the erosion
reducing effect of roots is also considered. ...
