This book, the first of a pair of volumes on bioengineering techniques, shows how vegetation can be used for the engineering and ecological enhancement of earth structures. Vegetation provides protection and stabilisation of both natural and manmade slopes along transportation routes (such as motorways) and for industrial, housing and leisure facilities.

Hugo Meinhard Schiechtl and Roland Stern are the authors of Ground Bioengineering Techniques: For Slope Protection and Erosion Control, published by Wiley.
