RE: Slope stability with vegetation
I am pretty sure that any possible shallow soil is more likely to be reinforced by specific species like prairie grasses. With this type of vegetation, I can understand that the vegetated soil behaves like a composite material because the roots are relatively small and heavily distributed. However, at deeper locations and with using different plant (e.g. willow), I am not sure what the mechanism involved.
