Use of vegetation in civil engineering
Abstract
This guide introduces a range of bioengineering applications relevant to the United Kingdom construction industry. The majority relate either to the restraint of surface soil particles or to the stabilisation of soil mass. Applications relevant to highway construction include: slope stabilisation, water erosion control, watercourse and shoreline protection (discontinuous flow channels), vegetation barriers against noise or for wind protection, and control of runoff in small catchments. Sections are provided on: a) the basic aspects of vegetation. This includes the theory and understanding of the structure and growth of vegetation and its interaction with the soil, water and climate; b) the physical effects of vegetation. This includes the presentation of the properties and functions of vegetation in an engineering role; c) vegetation selection, establishment and management; d) method of approach and management; and d) the practical applications of vegetation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
