The Experimental Study of Effects of Herbaceous Plant Protecting Slope in Cold Area

Five kinds of herbaceous plants commonly distributed in cold regions were selected as experiment plants for protecting slopes. According to the study of coverage, proportion of the root system, and shear strength of root-soil composite in the growth period of plants, the affectivity of slope protection of herbaceous plants in cold regions was verified. By experimentation of the root system, the Lucerne and June grass have a large extent of root system sand robust main roots. In the experiment of the shear strength of root-soil composite, the Lucerne had the largest shear strength and was followed by the White clover. The results of experiments verified that the herbaceous plants selected with good adaptability could protect slopes and enhanced slope stability, which produces better landscape effects under representative soil conditions in cold regions.
