From the publisher

The first comprehensive, practical guide to the selection, construction, and installation of soil bioengineering andbiotechnical slope protection Here is the ultimate guide to physically attractive, environmentally compatible, and cost-effective methods ofprotecting slopes from erosion and mass wasting. Lavishlyillustrated with more than 150 photographs and supplemented withscores of charts and tables, this book covers the entire subjectfrom general principles and background on the nature of soilerosion and mass movement to detailed information on rootstrengths, treatment selection, unit costs, critical tractivestresses, methods for harvesting and handling live cuttings, andmore. Four illustrated case studies, each addressing a different set ofproblems and solutions, demonstrate both the application ofparticular technologies and the site investigation, planning, scheduling, and organization required to complete these projectssuccessfully. This unique reference handbook
