| Abstract/Contents: | "The vetiver eco-engineering was applied in South China for the first time to control landslides and protect highways. The results showed that vetiver planted in slopes of highways under appropriate cultivation and management measures, grew rapidly and luxuriantly and formed dense hedgerows. It was quite effective for stabilization of slopes and soil moisture and nutrients. Furthermore, it did cost only about one sixteenth of the stone-based technique. In a word, application of the vetiver eco-engineering in roadbed and embankment protection can produce quite good ecological, social and economic benefits, which indicates that the engineering will have a broad application perspective." |
