For some time, there has been a growing interest in protecting and restoring the natural environment by the use of bioengineering techniques, bringing together the expertise of civil engineers, landscape architects, botanists and ecologists. This practical handbook shows how soils, plants and their ecology can be used to protect and stabilise natural and formed slopes along transportation routes and adjacent to industrial and housing areas and leisure facilities. Together with a companion book, Water Bioengineering Techniques, this provides a rare opportunity to gain an insight into the approach of the chief exponent, Professor H. M. Schiechtl, and his colleague, Dr. R. Stern, of the use of vegetation for the engineering, ecological and visual enhancement of earth structures. It will be of interest to geotechnics engineers, botanists, ecologists and to those concerned with landscape planning and land management.
