Soil infiltration and slope stability of shrub-covered loess slopes on the northeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau: experimental and numerical simulation
Key Points
Slope stability significantly increases with effective soil infiltration, enhancing water management.
Numerical simulations revealed a 30% improvement in slope stability for shrub-covered areas versus bare ground.
Assessment using numerical simulation on loess slopes along with experimental measurements corroborates findings.
Understanding this relationship is crucial for managing soil erosion, especially in vulnerable ecosystems.
