Abstract

Because of advances in science and technology as well as the need for ecological and environmental development, research on root reinforcement of soil within the last 30 years has become a new multidisciplinary field. Thus, this article summarizes the progress of the preceding 3 decades and future considerations for research direction concerning root reinforcement in soils. Early studies on soil bioengineering stabilization mainly concentrated on root anti-tensile strength, its anchoring force, and the root-soil composite for increasing shear strength. However, future study should focus on: 1) quantitative analysis of cellulose and hemicellulose in the root system, 2) discussion on elasticity of different plant root systems, 3) differences in stretch resistance and stress-strain relationships, 4) the theory behind balancing water and soil conservation of plant species, and 5) the efficiency of root reinforcement in soils from the aspect of different mechanical characteristics. For slope stability, areas of study should include: 1) stress field, 2) stability of the slope to be afforested, and 3) for the slope to be planted, selection of the best tree species and planting density for optimum production.
